Hot Or Cold Shower In This Heat.

Hot or cold shower in this heat.

Is it best to take a very hot shower to cool down in this heat . The thinking been that your natural body heat regulator will turn its self on so when you get out of the shower your body will continue to try to cool its self down . Or should you have a cold shower which feel good at the time but will encourage your body to try to heat it self up. Hope this makes some kind of sense.

luke warm for me

[gingejbee]

Neither. The best option is warmish - then stand in front of a slow-speed fan. Heaven!

Lukewarm for me, about 9:00 p.m.

[rockyracoon]

I can't do cold showers, warmish for me.

[elliemay1]

Warm to start with and then finish on cool to close your pores.

[Booldawg]

eitherway, you'll be sweating cobs 10 minutes after!

[rockyracoon]

Indeed Booldawg.

I take a hot shower and then lie down infront of the fan with the window open and a cold drink. I find it incredibly refreshing, just dont stay in the hot shower more than 2-3 mins

[Baldric]

Just warm enough not to feel cold,
if that makes sense!

[netibiza]

Be careful, I took a hot shower in our heat and I fainted, so now only a warm to cool one.

[jd_1984]

When I say hot, I mean bearable, hotter than luke warm, not HOT HOT....

[Tilly2]

I have a lukewarm shower and feel really good. Then I spend twenty minutes with a hairdryer, styling my hair, and it's back to square one!

[SlackAlice]

Start with warm, them slowly colder but not too bloody cold!

[dustypuss]

So its 50/50 some like it hot some like it cold so I think I will go with the warm option . ('.')

Luke-warm. Otherwise your body has to work even harder to cool down again

[kylesmum]

I agree turn down a few notches.

My brother was in Sweden and dived into one of those ice baths (which the Swedes can deal with, winter and summer ) and fainted !!

Silly boy lol !!

[woofgang]

blood heat. The water should feel neither warm nor cold.

[Alston]

When I was in school (many many years ago) our Biology Master always insisted that the best way to cool down in hot weather was to have a large cup of Hot Tea.

Al.

[missnemesis]

I think the reasoning behind that Alston is so that the hot tea encourages you to sweat therefore cooling down your 'core' temperature. Scientifically it might work but in reality I think it just makes you sweatier :-/

[pixie373]

I don't think it even works scientifically. Just a myth.
