"That’s because water that’s colder than our natural body temperature causes the body to work slightly harder to maintain its core temperature"
Mice who were put in a puddle of cold water for 4 hours a day for the rest of their life lived longer
Your body panicks when you get into the cold shower and produces cortisol
that’s no where near as bad as u made it out to be you clown.
The fact that it increases metabolism is proof enough. It means your body is eating itself to keep up.
It’s really not that bad m8. Quit your broscience now… or else
Bro just go outside with minimal clothes, sleep for 8h naked with no bed cover then your body will work to heat you.
So you mean autophagy? Autophagy is anti aging.
100% right. Skin + anti-aging yes but ESPECIALLY for brain health. Cold showers are a god's gift but people don't want to understand because they are too afraid to suffer.
Autophagy is when you abstain from eating to eat yourself instead. When you eat you raise insulin which ages you. Here you have to eat to compensate what you lost in the cold shower. So you still raise the insulin. So you actually have to eat more. So you age more.
Autophagy is increased when you don’t eat but it’s always occurring at some degree. Other factors besides food can influence autophagy. You said your body “is eating itself” which is what autophagy is. Idk if cold induced autophagy or not.
