I wish other videos would do this without stretching the answer out and hiding it around the 23 minute mark...
Modern internet filled to the brim with ads. Consumerism.
Totally, so tired of people telling me what they're going to tell me.
Blame capitalism... the algorithm dictates the length of video's by rewarding certain kinds of combat with more money via prioritization... longer videos also provide more advertising space.
@@Rodrik18 Has literally nothing to do with capitalism. If people don’t want that, then it will stop existing, it’s that simple. And if videos like this one are liked then the trend will spread
good point
How refreshing, he took less than a minute to get to the heart of the matter.
Yeah, couldn't help but putting a like. :]
Hell yeah, Navy Seal. Right to the point. No BS. Love it.
Refreshing like a cold shower?
Only reason I clicked the vid was I saw it's a quick vid

Cold water is so when they go change room they still arnt boned up after showing with the other soldiers!
so 15 seconds latter your body goes back to how it is naturally and it all stops!🤦♂️🤣

I appreciate how straight forward he is. Most people on CZcams start their vids with a 3 minute intro until they start explaining ffs.
Nah it's like a ten minute vlog, with two or more irrelevant ads and a sponsorship plug, and then five more minutes of the video's point stretched out to win the algorithm's favor.
"In this video, I'm going to explain the benefits of cold water and why top athletes do it. You might think, "hey that's crazy why would I want to take a cold shower?" Well I'm here to explain why and will do so in a way that stretches out the video to the 10 minute mark. But since it's a really short explanation I will first start with some anecdotes from people who like taking cold showers and those who don't..."

i swear everything that feels good or tastes good is never good for you.
"Good" and "bad" feelings are all relative. I've been taking nothing but cold showers for the past 4 months and I feel great. Now hot showers feel "bad" to me
JoeOf91 it's honestly true. Pizza? Tastes great, awful for you. Fruit? Tastes pretty good, but even it is packed full of sugar and too much of the more sugary fruits like grapes or apples is bad for you. Vegetables? Taste awful and they're great for you. It pretty much evens out across the board - there are few good tasting foods that don't have substantial drawbacks for your physical health.
Russell Westbrook it's about proportions. White bread is empty carbs. Fruits have sugar but along with that sugar you get nutrition. Donuts is still sugar and fat but no nutrition. So your daily sugar intake is filled up by the unhealthy foods and the rest of the daily needs aren't filled, so to fill those up you'll get the extra sugar as well
C Mahoney no, I'm just a normal human being who recognizes that vegetables taste like crap. Unless you smother them in butter, salt, pepper, or do other things to alter the taste, they don't taste good. Not saying that you shouldn't eat them or anything but for someone to actually like vegetables like they would like a slice of pizza just doesn't happen. How would that make me six? Quit reachin
Oranges taste good.

Blueberry Incense it only takes 5 days to get used to it. Before I moved our water heater broke and had to take cold showers for a couple weeks as we had to wait for a new one to come get installed.

Andres Gonzalez I was having a lot of joint pains and decided to just straight up take a cold shower one morning. I stood in the shower and just turned the water on and the moment it hit me my breath actually got knocked out and I started hyperventillating. Had to turn that hot water on pretty quick. I can only take a cold water shower after slowly easing into it from hot water.
There's no way I'm ever going straight into a cold water shower again. I only did it the first time because I had no idea how hard it would hit.

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

I read once that a quick shot of colder water at the end of a hot shower also reduces post-shower sweating in hot and humd weather, leading to a more durable feeling and probably reality of cleanliness. Seems to work also.
How long for the cold shower part? 15 second’s?
@@torresthemonster depends on how cold it is. Cold shower in Florida and cold shower somewhere in Siberia are completely different things.
I'm going to have to try this. Afternoons in SE Asia are relentless.

I lived in hot horrible Florida most of my life and that's exactly why i do it. Saw this video and had to click.
He said “vasoconstricts” twice so it must be science.
actually that word is used practically every time someone explains why its good; why do you think athletes have ice baths for recovery
@@aymankhali904 because of vasochemistry
Every vasoconerist know it's the basic of vasocology
@@TheIMPOTEN is that the study of Vasco De Gama?
Seriously though, ‘it squeezes all the lactic acid out’ is a pretty gross misunderstanding of how the human body works. Lactic acid build up is largely intracellular, and blood vessels have little control in how much can be transported because it has to be transported across a membrane via proteins. You can’t just squeeze it out through the sheer force of vasoconstriction lol. Don’t get me wrong, the general idea that cold has therapeutic benefits is surely correct, but his ‘science’ behind it is questionable. By the way, fun fact - and I’ll leave a link to this below, when I was studying biomedical sciences this one professor was absolutely adamant about it - we’re not actually sure that lactic acid is a cause of or just a by-product of muscle fatigue, or whether it even has anything to do with it. It’s one of those things that got picked up and perpetuated by the media based on preliminary findings (I think it was something to do with findings like lactic acid building up everywhere except heart muscle, which naturally doesn’t fatigue, ergo, lactic acid must cause fatigue etc), but most biomedical scientists aren’t completely convinced. The evidence was pretty poor and there’s lots to the contrary nowadays. It’s a good indicator of fatigue in sports science, but that’s not to say it’s responsible for it. And in 20 years time when it gets debunked in the public eye once for all, no doubt everyone will be saying ‘scientists got it wrong!’ when in reality most of those in the field haven’t believed this for decades now.

I've been finishing my shower with a cold one for about 7 years. Your body warms up very quickly after a cold shower. After a while you can't have a shower without doing it as you feel so much better.

He must’ve been an instructor. That’s the most instructor answer I’ve ever heard as to why dudes are treading 45 degree water at 3am that I’ve ever heard. “It’s therapy”
Or as a dad might say "It builds character"
I don’t know about lactic acid excretion, but cold showers do shock your brain into waking up, not only making you shower faster but you’ll be happier afterwards as you’re more alert and you’re subconsciously happy that you’re out of what was perceived as a hazard (which in turn makes you happier).

Yaboy it could potentially give you a heart attack like it did me. I was taking a hot shower (like most people do) and went to turn it off but didn't turn it all the way so it was ice cold. I fell to the floor, luckily out the shower, And my body readjusted it's temperature. don't try this
so which one do you believe? a random CZcams video or a real study by scientists? www.bbc.com/future/story/20161209-do-athletes-need-to-take-ice-baths
A cold shower is not a cold bath of 25 minutes.
The article from Nagib says "iced water kept at 8-10C" That's close to ground water temperature (in this part of the world), where iced water could be 0°C. So yes it is different but not necessarily in a scientific publication.
I had another study in mind when replying with that cold bath of 25 minutes (at 10-15°C).

It's also been recommended as treatment for anxiety. For the last 30 seconds of your shower, turn the water as cold as possible, then focus on keeping your breathing the same. Over time, it teaches your brain to control your breathing even when you're body is distressed.
What about tolerance build up.

Yeah boi
@the3-dkiller1 When I served my country, I had 15 minutes to sh!t, shower and shave, it was up to me where I spent the 15 minutes, now I'm out of the shower in 3 minutes, hot or cold.
I hiked in the Andes mountains near Lima Peru and our native guide didn't think I could handle getting into the mountain stream. We were about 13K feet and I went in and swam a while. He took pictures to show his friends because they wouldn't believe him if he told them that a white person from the North was swimming in their river like they do. It was definitely cold and didn't bother me at the time but I did it later in the afternoon before bed and couldn't get warm the rest of the nite while sleeping in the tent. I should try doing the shower thing and see how it goes.
I started doing this a month ago and my results are:
1. I look younger in the face, bags under the eyes = gone.
2. Less acne, I think it's because a hot shower opens pores, soap cleans them, cold water closes them so you're not sweating after a shower thus leaving you cleaner.
3. Muscle recovery is faster.
4. More and stronger erections ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
5. I actually feel better after a shower, like he said, it wakes you up where as a hot shower relaxes you.
So I take hot showers and at the end, turn it down a little bit, let my body adjust (30 seconds), then turn it down a little bit more, then once I hit ice cold, I try to rough it for 3 minutes but it's difficult. I focus on back, arms, face (not hair), and chest. Once I get out, I open the bathroom door so that I dont open my pores up again. Back-acne = almost fully gone. It's amazing...
This sounds like a good idea. Mind if I ask, how does opening the door stop pores opening up, and how many times a week would you shower?
Opening the door lets the steam out. You want to end on cold, then turn off the shower, open the door, and get out of the bathroom as soon as possible because it's hot and steamed up. If you body gets warm again, then your pores open back up and you start to sweat.
I shower 1-2 times a day.
Thank you, that makes sense. I was sort of thinking after 3 minutes of cold water at the end that most of the steam would of cleared out, but I guess the bathroom would still be steamy. Am definitely going to try this, will just have to work up the courage.
Also think heard that because some places put chlorine in the water having hot showers can be a bit more unhealthy because when it turns into steam we start inhaling the chlorine and maybe other stuff.
Don't just go from hot to cold, slowly back it down to cold, and when it gets super cold, focus on your breathing and just relax; your body will immediately want to go into shock but don't let it, just soak it in and plan your next move mentally like, "okay now I'm going to water my arms, then my back, then my chest, etc.". Getting acne off my face, back, arms, and chest has been priceless. I wish I knew this shit when I was a teenager...
Oh wow I didn't know that about chlorine. I just goggled it and yeah, my state puts chlorine in the water so that's good to know. I'm definitely going to look up inhaling chlorine though, thanks for that.
Bro I do this everyday it's a secret method and the best way! Glad I'm not the only one who does this! It's incredible

I started taking my shower in cold water. The benefits I got so far
1) Less water consumtion
2) Less Energy waste(I think this is an Important thing to add since the more Energy we waste the Higher the Energy price will be also Its better to leave more of the planet to the next Generation even by little it adds up)
3) It is empowering and by far this is the best Out of the three in my oppinion. It makes me feel powerful and in Control of my Life and choices. So helps me Out emotionally. It feels really great to be able to do Something even though it hurts and your brain gives Out crayz signals to Stop it from happening. Since i know its healthy I Just continue.
4) Cold resistancy: In the short time I started this I already feel the difference of my body having more Résistance to cold. As someone who gets cold easily this one is a good bonus.

It actually doesn't increase recovery, there is no empirical studies that draw that conclusion. Also, what recovers you from injury is speed up due to inflammation. Ice is only used to decrease pain but it might slow down the healing process.

When I did construction (especially installing fiberglass) we always showered with cold to start before opening the pours with hot water then finish with cold again to close the pours. Not sure if there is any legitimacy to it but you felt damn good after lol
I’ve done a lot of work in drywall plants (same issue, getting covered with fiberglass). Also heard that, and also always questioned if it was legit. I did try it a few times but my research was inconclusive.
they go in cold water for training. in finland we do that for fun.

Cold water for how long and how cold?
Sam Martin how is no one else commenting this, do i torture myself for 5 seconds or more than a minute
Sam Martin - Lol yeah it's hardly very scientific is it? I have tried cold showers and I'm not sure it has any benefit to be honest, though you can pretend how much of a man you are! Kind of like eating a hot pepper and pretending it's not hot...
Anyway if you want to try I did it like this... Normal shower... At the end cut the hot completely and wait a little bit for all the hot water to leave the hose and then starting from my head and face I would go over all parts then back up top and all parts again... Just as though you are rinsing yourself off. Probably lasts less than a minute but feels like an hour! XD
Barry Retmanski search it up it has a lot of benefits
Owen Lai - I know you'll find lots of sources claiming that it does, but I wonder if there are any peer reviewed studies? People make all sorts of claims it's not always so easy to know what's true... Even if an article quotes a study quite often the study itself isn't saying what the article is...
Everyone is full of shit basically! XD
Sam Martin the last 3 minutes of your shower should be cold
I'm an avid open water swimmer here in North Carolina. Decided not to end my season and here I am Feb 2nd and still going. I highly recommend. Your overall sense of well being is enhanced. I can only stay in 30 minutes. Treading but still really enjoy!

lol I've already been taking showers in cold water perks of growing up poor and just never getting used to a luxury that is hot water
luxury? it may be different in other countries but in mine (with a lot of taxes) an electrical shower is $10-15, and if you have Internet, you can pay that (also, you just pay it once).

Yes, "squeeze all that lactic acid" into your brain cells. You can also do that by standing on your hands with your feet against the wall for 15 minutes, and after you pass out, then you don't have to worry about taking anymore of those cold showers.
huh?
thank you for the advice. I think I did it correctly, I am currently unconscious on the ground 🤗👍😊
It also helps relieve anxiety and depression. Good for dry skin, too.

I do this too lol

People often say that, but where in the world do showers get "icy cold"?
I've never seen a shower that gets even "fresh mountain stream"-cold. Not to speak of icy cold.
@@MrCmon113 in the winter?!?
Me too!!!!
I love to end my showers with a few minutes of the coldest water possible. It’s shocking but I feel great afterwards. And yes like someone else mentioned it does really help with post shower sweating. Among the other benefits.
How do u get the cold water to shower? From the ice or shower heater?
@@amirularief5606 my shower water is variable. It’s able to go from probably 60 degrees to 110 degrees. That what the temperature valve says at least.

How to manage cold showers better (this is what made it easier for me):
1. Shower normally, but start the shower with as hot water as you can MANAGE to warm up your body (in my case this is important, make sure you cover all the areas, especially your lower back as that place will often get warm last)
2. Lastly, rinse off your body with as cold water as you can manage, and usually for 1-2 minutes because that is the time required for your body to adapt to not feel the stinging of the cold.
How cold? Cold enough that when you put the showerhead over your head you will instinctively take a deep breath. Even if you're a beginner you need to feel a slight shock when you do it. This is because when exposed to voluntary stress, your body starts to hyperactivate and you will become a superhuman for a short while (if you're like me and often have a stuffed nose this will clear it, like no joke).
*Don't curl up and wish it to be over! This is the time to face the cold, take big breaths and let your body do what it is capable of doing.*
The warm water at the start will help you by preparing your body & brain for the temperature difference.

So when you've spent the entire weekend binging on Netflix and eating double buttered popcorn and a couple pizza pies, DO NOT forget to take a cold shower so you can be 'ready to go' on Monday. Got it!

I've been going into the ocean daily, it's 58°, for 10 to 15 minutes. I just play around in the waves. It hurts like hell for about 3 minutes, then you get this pins and needles thing, then you kind of like it. When you come out, you don't really feel cold. It's a high unlike any other I've ever had, and when you're in that water you feel 100% alive. Recommend it.

@@juhna7 per sempre ;)
I end a shower with a few seconds of cold water only because if I get out of a shower the residual hot water can make me sweat and feel hot for a few minutes after the shower and depending on the weather and temperature that can be longer so the little blast of cold water just brings temps back down.
And it feels great afterwards
lmao i do the exact same for the same reason
Also closes pores after washing.
I call that cooking myself. It's worse in the summer. I do enjoy the heat for stretching and cracking all parts of my body that need it.
I've already hiked 6 1/2 miles (10 km) in a T-shirt and nylon running pants in a heavy rainstorm at 35 degrees F (2C), as soaking wet as if I had jumped into a lake at that temperature; when a storm front, that nobody forecast, came passing through, dropping the temperature from 70 to 35 in a short time. That's enough cold showers for a lifetime.
All CZcams videos should be this straightforward and direct.
Defo!
Yeah, if somebody is going to feed me a bunch of BS, at least have the courtesy to do it in under a minute. Just claim to be in the military, use a couple of big words, and that's all we need to be convinced.
No bs
Well, when cold water touches the skin, blood vessels shrink instantly at the surface of the skin. Then more heat and blood supply goes to inner body. In Russua we call in "quenching". This reflex help to develope resistance to cold. However, it only lasts for 10-15 minutes. After that the body will start loosing heat.
Thats cool to know man!
You Russians are a tough breed
65year old Canadian here, and I start taking cold showers on December 1st yearly, which is late fall here. By early winter in January, I transition to cold water exposure in a local creek and lake. I cold shower 6 days per week and never shower with hot water. This method prepares and toughens the organism for the cold climate. I stop the cold water showers and immersion in the spring. I like cold water and air.
Just thinking of showering in cold water makes me shiver
ItzAce I start off in a warm shower then gradually turn the temp down, just cold enough feels like wanting a cool shower on a sweating hot day, it's refreshing, wakes you up, and I don't know if there's any science to this but I swear it's great for your skin.
@@thagrammarnazi it’s December
@@BlueElitefromHaloCE Best time to start
Been doing this for over 30 years. Even in winter. Finally good to see why I'm not mad.
How long do you spend in the water
Wayne Owen the cold at the end of the shower? About a minute or so. As a teen I did it to close skin pores to prevent acne, I just never stopped doing it. The hot water gets you clean, and the cold at the end constricts your skin and invigorates the body and circulation. Think of it as a softer version of sauna to snow. 😂
@@parkeslife4323 wow. I started doing cold showers about 1 month now. It just feels good to me to take a cold shower since it kinda gets warm after 15 seconds
@@kohtaradash1553 you need to start with a warm shower my friend. Then when you turn the hot water off it will actually feel cooler. 👍
@@kohtaradash1553 Yeah. I sometimes start cold in the winter here in Canada. Really gets me breathing but after about 15 secs the breathing becomes deep, slower and calm. Feels like the water is colder coming out of the pipes in the winter by a few degrees.
I sometimes start warm then cold as well.
I plan on swimming in the lake here until early maybe mid winter. Waters still not that cold after only first month or 2 of winter. 14 Celsius/55 Fahrenheit or so.
Cold showers get you used to it.
I ran cross-country in high school in 1959-60, and after our daily five-mile practice runs, I took warm showers followed by a gradually cooling rinse shower until only cold water was running. This was insisted upon by our coach. It’s a habit I employ to this day, although I seldom go to full-on cold at the end. (I just don’t tolerate cold water the way I did in my teens!)
Good luck finding cold water down here in SW Florida.
Erling Haugen it's called a joke... He's not the retarded one if that flew right over your head lol
James Beeler actually a lot of people are dumb as fuck......
David Spin I'll send you some snow from indiana once I come down from college
David Spin is correct; the water in some parts of the south during the summer will not be cold. It depends on what part of the water system you're connected to. In some parts of the town I live in, the water never gets cold during the summer, certainly not cold enough for a SEAL shower.
David Spin quite common here in Canada
"That cold water is therapy, even though it's torture"
It was*
That innovation right there!
The irony...
Same with eating healthy and exercise I'd you're not used to it. You gotta adapt yourself to discomfort if you want to be better, because most of the things that make you better are uncomfortable.
They did it as torture and recently found out it theoretically can have health benefits so they are retroactively making the claim this is done for the health of their personnel.
Ok I see a lot of people here who don't understand what he said or how it works.
The number one thing he mentions is keeping the lactic acid out and vasoconstriction. He explanation is simplistic but I will add to this.
When the cold water hits your body, your body and mind goes in a state of shock.
1. Your body will shake as part of fight or flight response. That trembling typically will activate all the muscle in your body to wake (heat) them up or prepare them.
A. Blood circulation improves along with increased heart beat.
B. Mood improves,
C. Clarity of mind ensue.
D. Decrease inflammation and swelling (lactic acid being squeezed of muscle)
E. Increased metabolism
F. Increased levels of dopamine (feel good hormone) and norepinephrine (adrenaline)
G. Pain releaving effect
H. Lowers cortisol (stress) levels.
I. Calm itchy skin
J. Helps with weight loss (brown fat burns with heat and the shriveling from cold water heating up the body)
K. Glowing hair and skin
This is basically the gist. I have experienced all of the above except for itchy skin which I don't have.
THANKS for corroborating what I've heard about this fix elsewhere. After your warm shower how long do you shower in cold water to get ALL of these benefits? Is it safe for a 60 year old guy with a good diet and who works out for 45 minutes every other day?
@Heinz Britsz My father died at 90 in 2018, and he wanted to die ever since my mother did in 2007. No exercise since then, always hated doctors, lost all of his teeth due to utter neglect. I've been the total opposite for decades. So old age tends to run in the family by default. Good luck to you.
