Does bathing with cold water really increase immunity?
Experts say that bathing in cold water increases immunity compared to hot water. In fact, when you bathe in cold water, your skin cools down and as a result the body temperature increases, which activates the immune system, as well as increases the production of white blood cells, which help fight infections and diseases.
Bathing with cold water can also prevent skin infections. Apart from this, when the body comes in contact with cold water, it helps in reducing inflammation. Bathing with cold water reduces stress hormones and reduces the level of cortisol hormone in the body, which reduces mental stress and strengthens the immune system. Bathing with cold water also increases metabolism.
Bathing in cold water improves blood circulation, which provides better oxygen and nutrients to different parts of the body. This also benefits the immune system.
