Cold Showers Can Be Your Best Friend


 


Still hearing that song from Beverly Hills Cop 2 "The Heat Is On" in my head as this heatwave continues throughout the Pacific Northwest. This particular heat is meant for people who live in freaking Arizona, not those who're near the ocean or live near mountains in these specific areas. Hell I don't know how people survived the Ironman that went on here this weekend. 

When it's this hot out, you need to know how to stay safe and hydrated along with not turning into a stop light at an intersection. Our body temperatures can only sustain certain levels of heat for so long before we have heat strokes. One of the best I know of is Cold Showers. For me in my experiences, they're a lifesaver and can prevent skin from peeling after a rough sunburn. I don't particularly wear sunscreen for certain reasons but one of them is because I get burnt even faster when I have it on it doesn't matter what brand. After a cold shower, it balances everything out and gives me a natural tan from being in the sun.

As you know or may have read, taking a cold shower can help regulate body temperature and keeps the skin smooth, when it gets really hot out and you've taken hot showers beforehand, it can develop dry skin and potentially cause you to sunburn much faster which in turn can be very painful. Finding that balance isn't easy to work on but when you know how to keep yourself from overheating and regulating temperature even on the hottest days of the year, it feels quite nice. I'm not saying you should go out and get so much sun, that can only last so long before you need shade and/or need to jump into a lake or the ocean. 

Take it upon yourself to take cold showers whenever possible and keep your Core Temperature at a level that can be sustained throughout the day and depending on your body's intake of water, drink it as much as you can and stay hydrated. It is an important time this summer to be ready for the unexpected and be safe, take care of each other and let's not get to a point where we ask ourselves "you want that in original recipe or extra crispy" when it comes to our bodies.
