In the summer, all the way down. In the winter, sheeeeeeeet!

I'm guessing it depends on the ground temperature, but I almost killed myself stepping into the shower earlier this winter.

talks about ice baths/cold exposure @53:00, says it has the same effect as antidepressants http://duncantrussell.com/tim-ferriss/#/vanilla/discussion/embed/?vanilla_discussion_id=0




"When I shower I do what I call "cold cycling," something which I never would have tried without Tim Ferriss. The concept is that hot water (which is my preferred shower temp) relaxes your muscles, loosens your tissues, and dilates your capillaries. Switching to cold water then delivers an anti-inflammatory effect, tightens your tissues, and narrows your capillaries. Switching back to hot water re-relaxes your muscles on top of the cold's anti-inflammatory effect, softens your tissues back up, and dilates your capillaries again.

This not only promotes muscle recovery, it also circulates your lymph. Do people know about lymph? If not, you really should look it up. You have twice as much lymph fluid as you do blood, yet while blood is actively pushed through the body by one's heart, lymph is only circulated slowly as a by-product of muscular movement.

If blood carries food for your cells (which it basically does) then lymph carries their poop. Your lymph system is your body's sewer drain. Picture your kitchen if the sewer main backs up. Now picture that same thing happening in your body. This is why keeping your lymph circulating is super crucial for health, which is one of the reasons that being sedentary is so dangerous. Unlike blood, your lymph can't move itself. So if you don't move, your lymph doesn't either."

I also do the cold cycling. I never go hot, but start with lukewarm, wash my body, turn it to cold, wash my face, and let it run on me for another 5-6 minutes cold. During the winter though I just run it on cool
