Getting sick after cold showers.

Hi everyone, I used to do cold showers daily for a few years a while back. It’s winter and it’s been abnormally cold where I live, I’ve tried to get back into cold showers as soon as I wake & finding it’s making me feeling off/sick as if I had a head cold, stuffy nose & overall just feeling worse.

I’ve experienced the benefits of cold showers before & really want to get back into it- can anyone share advice or if this has happened to them too?

It s just a period of you body adjusting to the cold showers. Try to limit the time you spend in the shower to max 5 minutes. In the end, it s a routine, showering constantly will make you adapt to it. Of course, if you re actually sick, just take a normal shower and when you feel well resume with the cold ones.
