Cold Shower+Nofap

[Htobrother]

Started today

 

[audimax]

keep doing it brah

 

[Htobrother]

keep doing it brah

Thx broo

 

[Ocelot]

Ending tomorrow

 

[Htobrother]

Ending tomorrow

Nah

 

[Vidyacoper]

youll become psl8 in no time at this rate bro!

 

[Htobrother]

youll become psl8 in no time at this rate bro!

yeah

 

[Deleted member 2205]

I don't understand the point of cold showers

 

[Deleted member 2661]

So you become a gypsy faggot

 

[Deleted member 5187]

I don't understand the point of cold showers

Well I think warm water is bad for skin

Cold water increases cortisol levels and test
Which in turn should do some shit
But its cope with the hormones

Just dont use too warm water and skin wont suffer

over tbh. When I shower there's steam coming out

Same ain't one person gonna tell me to not take warm showers

It's a mental thing. It can also be good for the skin. Cold shock proteins and releases pleasure hormones.

 

[Htobrother]

yeah

Nah

Has it’s benefits

Cold shower helps with retaining

It’s good for depression too

YES BRO!!! COLD SHOWERS ARE THE SHIT, been doing it for about 2 weeks now. You actually get used to it and it becomes easier to get used to it faster when you get in too. Also, it becomes pleasurable after a while when you do it every day.

It's a hormetic stressor. Cold exposure releases cold shock proteins and activates BAT fat (Brown adipose tissue), which is mostly located on your upper back/shoulder area. BAT is a good type of fat which improves glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity; plays and important role in maintaining bone health and bone density, increases adiponectin levels by 70%. Centenarians (people who live past 100), and their offspring have been found to have higher adiponectin levels than those who aren't Centenarians.

Cold exposure increases circulating irisin. Irisin improves insulin sensitivity, increases bone quality and quantity, is involved in the building of lean muscle mass, and helps reduce obesity by converting white fat to brown fat, providing many of the same benefits of exercise.

Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Production (FGF-21) has been documented as a pathway to longevity. BAT activation through cold exposure up-regulates circulating fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) in humans by 37%. FGF21 improves insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism which may partially explain its longevity promoting benefits.

Under basal environmental temperatures, HDAC3 primes expression of UCP1 and the brown fat thermogenic program to ensure acute cold survival through the deacetylation and activation of PGC-1alpha. (PGC1alpha pathway is responsible for mitogenesis and neurogenesis; the growth of new mitochondria in cells and the growth of new brain cells.)

Cold exposure increases SIRT1 phosphorylation/activity in both skeletal muscle and BAT, increasing thermogenesis and insulin sensitivity through deacetylation of PGC-1alpha and other protein targets. Elevated SIRT1 levels in people are associated with increased human longevity. SIRT1 (and the other sirtuins) have many metabolic effects, but an important one for improving health and longevity is the fact that SIRT1 increases insulin sensitivity and glucose control in skeletal muscles, triggers the browning of white fat and increases BAT activity.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeit, thats cool too

 

[Gargantuan]

Big fan of both myself. How cold are your cold showers?

as cold as possible can be

 

[Deleted member 4087]

Do you shower in the morning or at night

 

[Htobrother]

Do you shower in the morning or at night

after I workout bro
So morning

 

[Gargantuan]

as cold as possible can be

Coldest I've gone so far is 10C/50F, do you reckon that's cold enough?

 

[BigChinHispanic]

When i shower i make sure it boils my skin

 

[Htobrother]

Coldest I've gone so far is 10C/50F, do you reckon that's cold enough?

Hm

 

[Gargantuan]

Hm

I've been going down gradually 30 > 25 > 20 > 15 > 10, 5C and 0c are my next goals.

yes good step for step
