Doctor explains health benefits of cold and warm showers and when they work best

When we wake up in the morning, it's likely that a nice hot shower sounds far more appealing than a cold one.
And while this may be correct, choosing to go for a colder shower first thing in the morning apparently has its health benefits.
That's according to Dr Karan Raj, who also says that there's a specific time of day where warm showers are the best for our bodies - and sadly it's not right when we roll out of bed.
Dr Karan is an NHS surgeon whose tips and frank advice videos have seen him gain an impressive five million followers on TikTok.

Thania Garcia The top of the U.S. album and singles charts remain unchanged this week, with Bad Bunny’s “Un Verano Sin Ti” keeping at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a 14th non-consecutive week and Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit” reigning at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for a third week in a row. “Un Verano” now ties Drake’s “Views” (2016) and Disney’s “Frozen” soundtrack (2014) for the most weeks at the summit in the past decade. Adele’s “21” scored a total of 24 weeks at No. 1 back in 2011 and 2012. “Un Verano” remains at the top with the equivalent of 84,000 units sold in the United States, according to Luminate via Billboard.
