Can Taking Cold Showers Cause A Heart Attack?
I was researching taking cold showers to help with depression. there seems to be a lot of health benefits to this. however, something that keeps coming up, is that if you high blood pressure, taking an ice cold shower may cause heart attack or stroke. i m only 27. but, i for some reason drink a ridiculous amount of energy drinks, and eat bad food. so i assume my blood pressure is high. do you think there is any truth to the concept that the cold water could give me a heart attack or stroke?
