Errors in human personal hygiene procedures

Doctors have identified 3 major self-care mistakes that make life difficult for people.

1. Showering every day can be harmful.

This is the conclusion reached by employees of the University of California. They drew their conclusion on the basis that a daily shower can cause various kinds of infectious diseases, since the beneficial bacteria that protect the skin are thoroughly and regularly washed off under shower.

However, the renowned virologist Oxford makes an allowance for the fact that the area below the waist, arms and armpits needs daily careful care and rinsing. And for the rest of the body, it is enough to be exposed to water every 3 days.

2. Long shower time dries skin

Exposure to water for more than 20 minutes a day makes the skin less elastic and drier. According to experts, this is due to the fact that water deprives the sebaceous glands of secretions, which inevitably dries out the skin.

When researching the topic of human hygiene, doctors came to the conclusion that moisturizers that are used after a shower, and not during it, will help solve the problem of dry skin.

3. Soaps and gels weaken the immune system

Experts from Maryland argue that the onset of eczema is largely due to the fact that personal hygiene and human health are very closely related, and the skin is deprived of its natural protection due to soaps and gels. Robit Chutkan says that beneficial human bacteria, upon contact with dirt, learn to distinguish between harmless dirt and one that can harm the body.

However, because of the soap, the ability to train like this does not arise in colonies of human bacteria. He justifies the use of soap only for washing hands during epidemics of SARS and influenza.

So, according to the British, the popular expression, "cleanliness is the guarantee of health", does not always justify itself. Try the new rules of personal hygiene of a person without the mistakes listed above, and see for yourself the veracity of the doctors' research.
