The Cold Shower, a Coffee alternative

You've seen them before. Groggy, irritated, on edge--you know exactly their story. They wake up, only with faith that they will liven up when they take their first few sips. He is the coffee drinker. It started off as an innocent habit. Perhaps even a slight curiosity sparked his interest in the beverage. Whatever reason it maybe, it has gotten out of hand now. He needs that coffee to function. The seemingly minor expense of  $2.50 a day, and sometimes even higher, 365 days a year amounts to $912.50. That's nearly a thousand dollars that the average American might spend to feed the fix. Furthermore, the ideas on the health benefits of coffees are mixed. Some say it has beneficial properties, while others say it can harm the body. My response is, why take a chance with your health? What if I told you that you could wake up in the morning and feel invigorated and excited for the day, without touching a single cup. What's the secret? Cold showers. What? Yes, a cold shower can wake you up as good or better than a cup of coffee. Let me list some benefits to the benefits of a cold shower.
  • You save money on your water bill!
  • Relieves Stress
  • Your body must heat up in response to the cold water, and therefore, burn more calories
  • Hot water can dry out your hair and skin, cold water can help you avoid getting your hair and skin dried
  • It improves your mood and fights depression. If you are bogged down by the constant worry and sorrow of all your problems, taking a shower can help. You stop worrying about your problems as the cold water shocks your system!
  • Your focus will improve.
  • You can develop mental discipline 
  • Your immune system can also be strengthened.
I'd like to close by mentioning that cold showers do not work for everyone. Please consult with a doctor if you are healthy and capable of taking these cold showers. They have all the benefits and more of a cup of coffee and are a great alternative if you want to stop. If you don't want to stop take a cold shower anyways!
