Cold Shower and detoxing

Hi

 

in the past few days I read something about taking cold showers to increase testosterone and about detoxing the body to get rid of trash that is stored in the body.

 

I think that cold showers can have a positive effect, but how long and how cold must the shower be to have an effect on the body?

Just step 10 sec under lukewarm or must someone dive into an icebath for a few min?

Maybe someone has experience with cold showers and could tell something about it =)

 

Is it true that you can get rid of trash in your body by detoxing( i think it´s the right word^^) and if its true how does it work? - Fasting, taking baths in saltwater?

 

Thanks for every answer! :)

Detox is a junk science scam, and a waste of your time.

More like new-age crap that capitalises on lay people's ignorance about biology while at the same time demonising everything related to modern life. Modern life is bad for you, y'know?

Ok, here's a more constructive advice: Once you ingest toxins and they are stored in your fat tissue, they stay put. Better to avoid toxins in the first place by avoiding the worst offenders. Google is your friend, but things like farmed fish (especially salmon) should be avoided.
