Did you know that cold water showers can actually burn more fat and stimulate weight loss?
The unbearable spate of heat and humidity lately has led me to take cold showers daily.
White fat is accumulated when we consume more calories than our body needs to function. When we don’t burn the calories for energy, the white fat piles up in unwanted places and unless we exercise to eliminate them, the areas look unsightly. This boosts your metabolism and burns a little bit more calories in the process. The end result gives you an energising “wake-up call” to start the day.
In 2012 Cochrane, a British charity formed to organise medical research findings, conducted 17 trials involving 366 subjects who either rested or immersed themselves in cold water after resistance training, cycling or running, researchers. It found that cold water baths were much more effective in relieving sore muscles one to four days after exercise.
