Selain bagian dari kebersihan diri, mandi juga memengaruhi sistem saraf, sirkulasi darah, hingga kualitas tidur. Air hangat memberi efek menenangkan dan membantu relaksasi, sementara air dingin merangsang kewaspadaan dan adaptasi fisiologis. Yang paling sehat bukanlah soal memilih hangat atau dingin, melainkan memahami bagaimana tubuh kamu merespons suhu tersebut. Gunakan suhu yang moderat, perhatikan durasi, dan sesuaikan dengan kondisi medis.
