Wellness Tip 10

Whether you shower every day or every other day, we all know showering is important. It cleans our skin, clears our pores, and even removes our dead skin cells. But showers have many more benefits! Taking a cold shower in the morning can help with your oxygen intake and your circulation and cause the melatonin in your body to drop, making you more awake. It can also speed up muscle repair, just like an ice bath, and promote healthier skin and hair. Taking a hot shower in the evening can lower your body temperature and help you fall asleep faster. It can also help with your mental health, relaxing your thoughts and muscles and reducing your stress and anxiety. Heat can make our brains release oxytocin, or the “happy” hormone. Feeling clean can increase the levels of your mood-boosting hormones and make you feel happier and more confident. Many people use the comfort and privacy of showers to let out their emotions or just daydream Showering every morning can also increase your productivity! Showers are a great way to stay clean, healthy, and happy!
