Showers are taken for granted as an everyday routine to get washed and scrubbed up before work, school, or if you're lucky, shopping and having lunch with your girlfriends. But there are many more benefits to the humble shower that we should pay attention to, including these examples:
Showers can Improve Circulation
If you have sluggish circulation you will find yourself getting cold hands and feet throughout the winter, which can become very uncomfortable. Combat this problem by alternating hot and cold water in your shower. It might make you scream a little bit when you plunge into an icy-cold flow of water but it will do you the world of good! Start by turning your shower to cold, shut your eyes and grit your teeth and splash your face and hands to get used to it. After a short while step in so your head is covered, and splash the rest of your body. Then turn the temperature up to a low heat while you wash. At the end of your shower, turn it to cold again. This will have the added benefit of making your hair shiny.
Showers can Ease Aching Muscles
Most people jump into the bath to ease their sore muscles after a hard session in the gym or on the five-a-side pitch. Yet the shower can work just as well in easing those aches and pains. Invest in a strong power shower, then direct the nozzle to the achey bits. Use a massaging movement to ease the stiffness and soothe the muscles. With regular use, you will find your pains melting away.
Showers can Help Lift Depression
When used in conjunction with aromatherapy oils, showers can help lift your mood, or even ease depression. Add a few drops of bergamot or orange essential oils to the shower tray, and let the steam lift it up to your face. Inhale deeply as you shower to reap the maximum benefits.
Showers Increase your Libido
Contrary to popular belief, taking a cold shower can actually boost a man's production of testosterone, making him more likely to want sex, not less. If you feel your love life needs a bit more sparkle, get your man into a cold shower every morning – even if you have to push him!
Showers Strengthen your Immune System
Crazy though it might sound, taking regular cold showers can actually stimulate your immune defences and protect you against colds and flu. The coldness helps release toxins from your body tissue, stimulates your circulation and cleanses the circulatory system, sending oxygen to your organs and blood.
