Many people believe that washing with cold water can bring great benefits to the body.
We will talk about the assessment of this opinion by a doctor.
An organism unprepared for cold water may suffer. RIA Novosti reports details with reference to Alexey Bereznikov, head of the dietetics department at the Russian Biotechnology University.
It is noted that the impact of extreme temperatures can be negative. For example, a person risks dying or experiencing cold shock.
According to Bereznikov, a cold shower can improve the condition of the body, provided that this practice is introduced gradually rather than immediately.
He noted that taking a cold shower without preparation can worsen immunity, lead to infectious diseases or inflammation in the body. Cold water can also lead to increased pressure due to spasms of the capillaries.
The doctor specified that a cold shower should be used 30 minutes after waking up or 30 minutes before bed. The temperature should be reduced gradually.
It is added that if any unpleasant sensations occur, it is better to refuse these procedures.
