I've always wondered about the whole cold lowering your immune system thing. On one hand, I've read that studies have shown this to be the case, but on the other hand, doesn't subjecting your body to moderate levels of hormetic stress actually make you more resilient? It seems like there should be a noticeable increase in sickness among people who take cold showers if this were true, the opposite of what they tend to report.
So about half of that list is actually true in some sense? And one of the list items is outright listed as "untrue"? Stay classy, LifeHacker, with those click-bait headlines.
I used to really enjoy reading Lifehacker, but their quality went down over time, and I stopped following them completely when they posted a map showing where to get abortions.
