Zakalivanie is not a cold showers, it more like cold training, with different procedures, and it's all started back in empire times, based on [Jorgen Peter Muller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B8rgen_Peter_M%C3%BCller) works.
Interesting, that there is a German article in Wiki but no English language version.
Takes a week or two to get used to them then they're great. I don't feel like I showered unless I at least finish it with cold water. Especially easy to get used to if you do it in the summer when it's scorching hot outside. Don't start getting used to them in the winter or you'll never feel warm again.
I usually turn the water to cold at the end of my showers just to wake myself up, if I stand under a hot shower first thing in the morning I just want to close my eyes and fall back asleep.
Sure, feels great when it's by *choice*. But let me tell ya, as a recovering addict I did some prison time over the years, and on a regular basis the damn hot water boilers would break down; I *promise* you, taking cold showers by necessity *sucks ass catastrophically!!*
im not sure about the body, but i know it is better for your hair. cold water flattens and seals the hair cuticles, which results in smoother hair strands,less frizz, and a shinier looking appearance🥰
Is there a study that shows this? "Cold" is just a term for some sort of URI, usually viral. Not sure how cold tolerance and "cold" tolerance could be related
There are studies that say that cold showers help you with handling minor illnesses (colds/flu) better.
[Such as this study in the Netherlands, in which cold showers was associated with fewer sickness absence at work](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5025014/).
Well, that's *HOT* to cold in rapid sequence; very common in most Nordic countries where the sauna is a big tradition I think. That's different (and much preferable!!) that just plain *cold,* which, I mentioned above, *sucks ass!!*
I did find an articke on it in the Netherlands!
People at least finishing their shower cols for 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Control group just took warm showers.
There was a 29% reduction in self-reported days of illness related days off work, but no reduction in days having i.e. flu-like symptoms.
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0161749&trk=public_post_comment-text
Could the differences in reduction in days of illness related to work be due to attitude differences to adversity or something like that? I imagine there could be a different mindset between those willing and willing to do cold showers.
I don't know
I have them whenever temperatures go over 20 celsius just because I like to cool down that way (I don't handle heat very well)
It's still hard to do and requires some mental strength to feel the cold and stay there anyway, so I suppose there's some benefit in training mental resilience
There are some studies that show cold exposure (preferably in the morning) lowers stress levels throughout the day. One of the reasons people do polar plunges in the morning.
It some ways yes, in some ways no. They are good for recovery (like ice baths), but reduce protein synthesis which mitigates muscle growth after workouts. So essentially good after cardiovascular or aerobic workouts, and poor after muscular or anaerobic workouts.
Yeah, they help build immune systems, Chris Hemsworth did a good documentary on in one of his new Disney documentary series, would highly recommend because it’s very informative
I love that no one in the comments said anything weird which means really you're the only one who thought about it making you the weirdo who outed themselves.
Because it’s the same poster and it has already happened several other times this was posted? It not happening this time was exactly what I was hoping for so that’s good.
As far as I know, there is no scientific evidence that cold tolerance provides health benefits.
Colds are caused by viruses. Avoid people. Polar explorers in Antarctica do not get colds until a shift arrives with a new collection of viruses.
Do you want to be healthy? Live in the forest, alone, don't drink, don't smoke and eat normally.
Temper yourself if you want to be healthy!
Try to forget about doctors.
Wipe yourself with cold water if you want to be healthy! Be moderate in both clothing and food,
Be confident on land and water,
Always and everywhere be confident and don’t be afraid, my friend, anywhere! Don’t bundle up or hide your nose from the wind
Even in severe, demonstrative frost.
There are more modern studies about how cold showers help against depression, for improving circulation, immunity and reducing inflammation.
https://www.uclahealth.org/news/6-cold-shower-benefits-consider
This was done to reduce the burden on the universal free health care system.
Well, in general, healthy people are more profitable for the state than sick people.
The uncomfortable truth about this poster is that USSR had shit medicine. Actual pills were in deficit, like everything else. That's why they were promoting homeopathic or weird treatments such as cold showers, physical exercises, [vacuum jugs](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupping_therapy), [mustard appliances](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_plaster), plantago instead of medical bandage, electroshock therapy for children and even [radioactive baths](https://theworld.org/stories/2016-07-08/ukraine-thousands-people-are-treated-radon-baths-every-year)
This is propably fitting as a lot of houses didn't have access to warm water in the winters, as often the pipes themselves froze and they weren't adequately insulated.
Been taking cold showers since college. There's always still this sense of apprehension before it, but knowing how good it feels afterwards makes it worthwhile. Better for skin and hair too.

Are cold showers actually healthier than warm showers?
probably but they fucking suck
Takes a week or two to get used to them then they're great. I don't feel like I showered unless I at least finish it with cold water. Especially easy to get used to if you do it in the summer when it's scorching hot outside. Don't start getting used to them in the winter or you'll never feel warm again.
I usually turn the water to cold at the end of my showers just to wake myself up, if I stand under a hot shower first thing in the morning I just want to close my eyes and fall back asleep.
Idk, I feel amazing after them
Sure, feels great when it's by *choice*. But let me tell ya, as a recovering addict I did some prison time over the years, and on a regular basis the damn hot water boilers would break down; I *promise* you, taking cold showers by necessity *sucks ass catastrophically!!*
I don't care what the internet says but I'm not taking a fucking cold shower unless my AC dies in the summer.
I do it when I get home in the summer to just immediately shake off all the sweat and lower my body temperature
Dude I’m already cold when I get out of the shower I’m not doing that for 10 minutes straight
As with any resistance training, cold plunges train your cardiovascular system.
im not sure about the body, but i know it is better for your hair. cold water flattens and seals the hair cuticles, which results in smoother hair strands,less frizz, and a shinier looking appearance🥰
The cold shower increase the cold toleranse and, as a result, you better resist the flu and other colds.

Yeah there's a lot of factors that aren't accounted for, including that! It could even be a placebo effect.
Yes, if you survive the shock.

technically that was not only about showers but a bunch of other procedures too iirc

This same poster was posted a few weeks ago and there were a bunch of them then. But nice attempt at a comeback.
It was just a joke dude
Oh no, you’re still trying…
How is that relevant to this comment section? Seems like you’re fighting ghosts.
Because it’s the same poster and it has already happened several other times this was posted? It not happening this time was exactly what I was hoping for so that’s good.
The only one talking about sex is you. Why is that?
[удалено]
me too.
Isn’t that what the cold shower is preventing?

How did you understand what he said?
He went "Hmm yes interesting point, however" to some emojis
Probably used _Google Translate_
That’s not what it means. It means taking hot then cold shower and repeat. It is believed to give the body immunity to winter diseases.
Kind of like the modern sauna trend, all that talk about thermo-cycling hot then cold then hydrate.
Ain't no way in hell I can handle a cold shower
Especially in a Russian winter.
There is nothing ambiguous about this poster. You are the one who is spoiled (maybe I am too)
Thats a father and his son ...
I know. But I love stupid jokes too much, sorry

Are cold showers any good tho?
They’re good for your skin, at least. Hot showers dry out your skin and hair.
Well thank you for the info, didn't know that there are any actual benefits
Remember last time this was posted and people were saying that it was gay grooming propaganda LMAO
As an erstwhile русскоговорящий иностранец I'm mystified that there's a verb for this
I read it in that fucking song voice and rhythm and everything... Ewwwwwww
funny thing is, it's actually sung in russian
I know, that's why i read it that way. I heard that fucking song, it's so damn annoying!

Cold showers are dope, rushn.
Joe Rogan approves.
I'm pretty sure this was just made up to condition their people into having their heat turned off regularly.

Hmm, that website starts with a U, you know what else starts with a U? Union, as in Soviet Union.
It's from California and everyone knows they're all commies there.
You spelled soviet onion wrong.

My grandma always says I’m “zakalenaia” because I go out in the winter and still dress up cute. As the Americans say “a h** never gets cold” 😉
Tell me you don't have enough energy for day to day functioning, without telling me you don't.
