PERSONAL THOUGHTS: I know I know…always want to put my 10c worth in.. hehe! Should the truth be known I have cold showers in the morning which I’ve been doing of and on for 18months and I absolutely love it. I crack up laughing after I’ve had a shower and feel so much better. If I’m not feeling well I won’t have a cold shower.. I’ve tried that and just made me feel worse. So please don’t try and be a Martyr ladies. And weigh everything up before you even think about doing the cold showers or winter dips… yes there are many doing this. In fact if you have the time please listen to Wim Hoff who is the MASTER OF COLD WATER THERAPY. So he knows everything about it and it’s benefits.
