Professor Adam Taylor from Lancaster University explains why cold showers on hot days could kill you.
Instead of getting your body to release excess heat, a cold shower tricks the body into thinking it should keep the heat trapped inside.
Our body’s optimal temperature is around 98.6F.
When exposed to cold, the blood vessels near to the skin constrict reducing the blood flow into these areas.
This can be deadly for people with high blood pressure and heart conditions.
The shock increases blood pressure as the heart is now pumping against increased resistance.
Evidence suggests 78.8-80.6F is most effective on a hot day .
This helps bring blood to the surface to cool, without being cold enough to cause the body to think it needs to conserve its heat.
Cold water has been shown to be less effective at removing and breaking down sebum and other debris on the skin, compared to warmer water, which means bad body odor will persist.
Warm or lukewarm water can help dissolve and loosen material in the pores.
