Invigorating

/ɪnˈvɪɡəreitɪŋ/ adjective

Definition

Making someone feel energized, refreshed, and full of strength and confidence.

Etymology

From Latin 'in-' (in) plus 'vigor' from Latin 'vigere' (to be strong). The -ing suffix makes it an adjective. It means literally 'putting strength into' someone.

Kelly Says

Cold water is invigorating because it triggers your nervous system to activate and send energy through your body—that's why cold showers wake you up way faster than hot ones.
