Bathing Everyday Is Not Healthy, Says A Research

Bathing Everyday Is Not Healthy, Says A Research

A new research has said that daily bathing is harmful to your health as over-cleaning can damage the human microbiome – a collection of bacteria, viruses and other microbes that live in on your body as a result of the damage, your immune system, digestions and even your heart could suffer.
According to the Genetic Science Centre at the University of Utah, bathing or showering too often actually do more harm than good.
No need to feel bad, if you skip bathing
Most of us start our morning off with a bath or shower as not washing for a few days leave us feeling grimy and a bit smelly too but new research says there’s no need to feel bad if you skip it altogether. These are essential to our health and the university suggests that “disrupting our microbial ecostystems can cause disease.”
Westernisation affects the human microbiome diversity
The researchers conducted a study in the Yanomami village of Amazon and found that people living here had a far richer microbes community in their skin and “the highest diversity of bacteria and genetic functions ever reported in a human group.” They bacteria found carried antibiotic resistance, despite having no known contact with antibiotics. The research concluded that westernisation i.e. shampoo-scrubbed lifestyles significantly affects the human microbiome diversity. However, the study did not tell as how often we should actually be showering.
Some people have already given-up showering
There are some people, who have already given up showring. James Hamblin, senior editor of The Atlantic said “At first, I was an oily, smelly beast but it wasn’t long before his body started to adjust. After a while... your ecosystem reaches a steady state, and you stop smelling bad. I mean, you don't smell like rosewater or Axe Body Spray, but you don't smell like B.O., either. You just smell like a person.”
