No they are not.

Not an expert in the matter, just do not want to take cold showers.

Depends on the situation and what you want to achieve.

For example cold and warm showers both have different benefits after a hard workout.

Warm water is better for muscle relaxation, reduced stuffy airways, etc. and is shown to let people fall asleep more easily when done shortly before bed.

Cold showers after intense workouts can help reduce muscle inflammation and improve recovery time.

And on the list goes.

If you shower in the morning or during the day, take a warm shower and end with 1-2min of really cold water. It’s been shown that you don’t really need more than that to trigger a little stress response from the body wich will wake you up, help boost your immune system and can improve blood circulation.

(In general do not take cold showers if you have chronic respiratory issues or you’re already sick)

Both cold and hot showers have health benefits. Cold showers can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, improve circulation, lower stress levels, and reduce muscle soreness and fatigue. Hot showers can improve cardiovascular health, soothe stiff joints, and improve sleep.
