I have been taking cold showers for a couple of years now. Although I wouldn't claim any health benefits since none have been proven, I will claim some other obvious benefits that everyone should consider.

Cold showers are unheated. Cheaper and better for the environment.

Cold showers seldom last longer than a few minutes, whereas hot showers are so comfortable that many people make them last way too long. Cheaper, better for the environment and for your time management.

Cold showers wake you up, whereas hot showers are more like extended snooze time.

Cold showers make you feel like a bad ass.

Secret tip: eat some breakfast before the shower, to crank up your engine.
