Very good advice tks a lot .

I ll tell more my result a month later : what i feel and how to do ?

What you are describing is known as a “contrast shower”, by analogy with contrast baths that involve moving back and forth between hot and cold water immersion. Many people advocate this on the basis that alternating cold and hot helps circulation and helps “expel toxins” by cycling between vasoconstriction and vasodilation. There may indeed be some benefit to that. But the benefits from pure cold showers are different. I find that adaptation to the cold is stronger and more sustained if you avoid alternation with hot or warm water. And cold water adaptation has many of its own health benefits, as noted above.

So there is no straightforward answer to your question “which is better”? I think the health benefits are different. My advice is to experiment yourself, and observe what works best for your immunity (fewer colds, etc.), your mood and energy level, and your metabolism. Don’t trust too much in what you read — always try it for yourself and observe!

I take 2mins hot shower then 3mins cold shower ,then warm shower ,

then 5mins cold showers .

Is this better ?

or only cold shower 10mins for heath?

I guess what I’m getting at is cold showers = less toxins. Any thoughts?

Also I was wondering if there could be any improvements to the scheme. I guess heating the areas where you wanted to lose fat externally wouldn’t help because the consumption of calories in our example is full body and internal. So if that wouldn’t work maybe targeting you problem area with exercise? If that would have any effect would it have more of an impact before or after?

Thanks for reading and posting this blog.
