Staying in a cold shower can cause a sharp jump in blood pressure and overload the cardiovascular system. About this post CNN It has been said Dr. Corey Simon, assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at Duke University and senior investigator at the Duke Center on Aging.
Dr. Simon said that scientists have conducted about a hundred studies on the effect of cold showers on the human body. Their participants were mostly healthy people, so the conclusions about the extraordinary benefits of cold therapy for all people cannot be called objective.
The expert noted that taking a shower or bath with cold water can be a really useful way to cope with stress. Also, a cold shower helps to cheer you up, lifts your spirits and gives energy. However, according to doctors, heat shock can overload the cardiovascular system and also increase blood pressure, heart rate and respiration.
Therefore, Simon does not recommend washing with cold water for people with chronic cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Due to the vulnerability of the cardiovascular system, ice showers are also dangerous for people who are intoxicated or have undergone surgery.
