> can find a million articles on the internet telling me that cold showers are a good habit and another million saying hot showers are a good habit - which one is objectively right?

The one that works for you? We are all different, depending on ethnicity, medical history, and a million other factor your diet, life style and life choices will affect your health differently.

How do you define "works for you"? For example, say I take cold showers and decide "this makes me cold; I don't like it" and then start taking hot showers everyday. But then imagine that one day, we find a link between hot showers and cancer.

How was I supposed to know that cold showers would have been better for me? Should my "bad habit" really be blamed?
