The Science Behind Shivering After a Cold Shower
Romania: Why We Shiver After Cold Showers A recent short video by doctor.mihail featuring Dr. Susanna Søberg has shed light on the common experience of shivering after cold exposure. Filmed in a podcast setting, the video explains the physiological process in simple terms. "When you're in cold water, your blood vessels constrict, sending blood to your core to protect vital organs," explains Dr. Søberg. "When you get out, they dilate again, and the warm blood moves to your cold skin, causing the shivering." The video highlights the body's natural response to regulate temperature and avoid hypothermia. The engaging presentation makes complex biological information accessible to a wider audience, promoting a better understanding of the body's response to cold.
