夏天冲凉居然有这么多好处！听专家为你一一道来

发表在《医学假说》上的研究指出，每周洗两到三次冷水澡，每次洗五分钟以上，有助于缓解抑郁症状。德若果斯邱斯基说：“接触冷水有助于降低皮质醇水平，提高让人感觉良好的神经递质血清素的水平。”他补充道，更妙的是，冲冷水澡带来的肾上腺素飙升有助于提升你的精力、注意力和表现。

Everyone’s definition of what’s cold is different. “Generally, the colder the water the better, and the longer you can stand it the better,” he says.

每个人对寒冷的定义是不同的。德若果斯邱斯基说：“通常来说，水温越低越好，冲得越久越好。”

The best practice is to start slow and build up to longer exposures, says Drogoszewski. “The goal is to engage in the practice long-term, so if it’s absolutely miserable, the likelihood of sticking with it is pretty slim. I now do five to 10 minutes straight every morning, but I started with 30 seconds of cold at the end of my shower then built up from there.”

德若果斯邱斯基说，最好的做法是一开始慢慢来，逐渐增加时间。“我们的目标是长期洗冷水澡，所以如果一开始就难以忍受，坚持下去的几率也很渺茫。我现在每天早上都冲5到10分钟冷水澡，但我最开始时是在洗完澡后冲30秒钟冷水，然后一点点增加。”

What you don’t want to do is turn the faucet so far to the cold side that you end up shivering—and using more energy—under the spray. “I would not want to induce a shivering response in someone after they just exercised in the heat,” says Casa. “You have enough stress your body’s dealing with already.” And in the dog days of summer? A nice, cold shower might be the actual cooldown your workout needs.
