Taking a Shower on a Cold Morning

December 7, 2011 · Posted in health, Memories 

Back in college…which was only a few moons ago…I read that taking cold showers in the morning made you smarter. Coincidentally, I signed up for an Accounting class and it was my first period at 7:30 in the morning. Coffee wasn’t enough to kickstart my brain cells. So I ditched my comfy hot showers and took the advice of the intelligence guru. Cold showers it was.

Every morning, whether I had that class or not, I took a cold shower. It didn’t matter if the weather was scorching or if outdoor thermometers dipped. I took those showers.

I managed to pass the class, thank you very much. But not without difficulty. Either the showers weren’t working or the teacher wasn’t being fair. Of course, I will not admit that my brain cells weren’t wired for accounting.

    I’d never try taking cold showers in the morning, siguro naman that won’t make me less smarter? LOL! Susme! Sisigaw ako sa loob ng bathroom!

    Hello, just happened to read through some topics here in your blog, specifically about Perimenopause and found this post about cold morning showers. Just to share an advice from a doctor, taking cold showers could actually be dangerous specially if a person has heart disease. The sudden cold sensation could constrict the blood vessels in the heart and cause a heart attack. This is what happened to a friend of ours a couple of years ago. Just thought of sharing this little known fact. :-)
