What temperature do you like your shower? Do you like it scalding hot? Or do you like a nice cold shower to wake you up?
A survey was taken on Reddit and it got nearly 4,000 responses. Here are the results:
1. 44% said they like it “Roasty-Toasty”
2. 33% said “Warm”
3. 10% said “Fiery Hot”
4. 8% said “Lukewarm”
5. 3% said “Cold”
And the rest answered, “I only take dust baths, for I am a chinchilla.” (Because of course they did, it’s Reddit.)
But the 3% who said they like cold showers might be getting some surprising health benefits. Some studies say a blast of cold water can boost your immune system, relieve muscle soreness, and reduce migraines.
And in case you wanted your information from dermatologists, rather than an internet survey, the ideal shower temperature is between 98 and 105 degrees.
(Best comments: “I need to bathe in the fires of Mordor”, “I can’t handle hot temperatures, I even have to put my food in the fridge before I eat it”, and “I am a chinchilla now.”)
