 Hello everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your morning afternoon or evening.

I decided to go with what I am passionate at the moment. Most people will think I am crazy, but that is what will make this interesting. I am starting to become obsessed with taking cold showers and wanted to write about reasons why cold showers are beneficial. If you have ever heard of Wim Hof, then you may have an idea why cold showers are good for you already.
