今、日本は2022年12月31日夜10時です。何とか、このお話を今年中におとどけできそうで、よかった！なぜなら、うちは今日、息子たちが帰ってきて、お正月（しょうがつ）の準備や料理に大忙（おおいそが）しだったからです。こうやって忙しくなるのはわかってたから、29日に薬師寺（やくしじ）というお寺に行ってきました。今年1年をふりかえって、来年何がしたいか、静（しず）かに考（かんが）えるためです。108個の、悪い心をきれいにしたら、私の願いはかなうかな？

Japanese New Year's Day (Beginner)

It might sound like the worst start to your day — you get into the shower, and it's ice cold. But while you might not enjoy it, a cold shower could actually be good for your health.

Spending time in cold water is not a new idea — the Ancient Greeks used cold water as a form of therapy as early as 3,500 BC. And things like cold water swims and ice baths have become quite popular around the world.

Experts believe there are a few reasons cold showers could be good for us.

Corey Simon, a doctor at Duke School of Medicine in the US, told CNN that having one or two cold showers a week helps him be more mentally present.

He believes the reason for this is that he has to mentally prepare himself for something stressful: the cold water. But once he's in it, he feels like he's in control of that stressor.

In fact, a 2022 study found that participants who showered for a minute in 10- to 14-degree water every day for two weeks had lower stress levels than a control group.

Cold showers could also be good for our immune system. In a study done in the Netherlands in 2016, people who spent 30 to 90 seconds in a cold shower took 29% fewer sick days from work.

Cold water has also been found to improve circulation, and can reduce muscle pain after a workout. Research suggests that taking a cold shower often could increase your metabolism too.

But experts say it's important to speak to your doctor before taking cold showers often, because it could be dangerous — especially for those with certain conditions, like heart or circulatory problems.
