I keep seeing cold plunges and cold showers everywhere. Some people swear it changed their mood and energy, but part of me thinks it is another wellness trend.

AI Summary

Replies were mixed. Some users said cold exposure helped mood and discipline, while others felt the benefits were exaggerated.

The hype is too much. Anything that becomes a status symbol at expensive gyms makes me suspicious.

Cold showers helped my mood in the morning, but I would not call it life-changing. It felt more like a discipline habit.

For workout recovery, it helped me feel less sore, but sleep and stretching did more for me.

I tried it for a month and hated every second. Maybe it helps some people, but I was just cold and irritated.
