This video will demonstrate how incorporating a cold shower into your daily routine can be a very effective way to manage and improve your mental health. That said if you are new to cold water therapy I would strongly advise speaking to your doctor as cold water can put an increased pressure on your heart which could be a shock if your body is not suitably prepared. I would advise starting will slightly colder water than you are used to and increasing the length and decreasing the temperature if and when you feel ready to do so.Research has proven that cold water therapy (cold showers and ice baths etc) or exercising in cold water (open water swimming) can have dramatic and long lasting benefits to your physical and mental health. That said you attempt this at your own risk. Good luck James
