Do you feel the cold? If the answer is “yes”, then why not try a cold bath or shower?

This unusual advice comes from a natural health therapist in Germany who, for the last 30 years, has been studying the effects of cold water.

Most people are brought up to believe that it’s important to keep warm during the cold weather, with extra clothing and heaters, but research shows that the opposite is true.

At a German health centre, hundreds of visitors follow this advice by taking their first cold bath at 6 am, and come out feeling much more relaxed.

This is due to the fact that the cold water increases blood sugar levels, the heart beat and breathing rate.

New research at the medical centre of Hanover has shown that those taking daily cold baths have 50% fewer colds and breathing problems than those who don’t.

Studies in London have also proven that this treatment will help protect against heart attacks.

For those people who find the idea of such behaviour unthinkable, then regular exercise such as running or cycling is a good alternative.

So, next time you’re suffering from the cold, don’t sit and complain, take action!
