Gwendolyn W, 54, of Baltimore, out of necessity had to take a cold icy shower when a power outage hit her neighborhood. What she came to realize was that this "icy shower" actually made her feel great afterwards. In fact, a year later she is still taking cold showers and claims they have helped her remain cold free, make here skin feel better and provide her with a higher energy level.  And while the jury might be out as to whether this is truly beneficial, it can't hurt to try.

Added benefit

If you couple your cold shower with a water saving low flow showerhead you can experience quite a savings on your water and heating costs.  And won't that make you feel a lot better when you see your next utility bill?
