Are you taking a shower too much?

It seems that it is really complicated to agree on the issue of hygiene.While some say that showering is often something correct and civilized, there are those who encourage us not to do so, because they argue that too frequent showers can be harmful for our skin.What is the perfect balance? How to be someone well-smelling, respecting the balance of natural oils and organisms of our skin? Let's see it!

And if you were taking a shower too much?

The lack of clear answers to this question has a reason, since there is no research body that Dedicate to pinpoint how often we should wash or how .

The confusion is such that it jeopardizes the original question of the article about whether you are showering too much because, after all, they do not exist available studies that have found an official answer to this doubt and that, according to our opinion, it would be very interesting to answer it, because we want to be clean, but also respect our body and when will they tell us what is the right balance?

What we do know

While there are no official conclusions, if the idea that our current way of life, with so much hygiene in the majority, is spreading more and more To people, which involves the use of shampoo, multitude of colored soaps and exotic fragrance odors...They are harming a complex system present in our body, which science has not yet really understood: the human microbiome.

The microbiome is the collection of bacteria, viruses and other microbes that live in and on your body. We know that these little creatures are very important for your health .Without them, your immune system , digestion, and even your heart would cease to function properly or fail completely.It might make sense to understand the microbiome as a parallel organ system that serves as a complement, linked to the bulkiest bags of moist tissue that make up the human machine.

However, researchers say that at the moment science only offers a small portion of the full picture of the role our microbiomes play in our lives. There is indirect evidence to suggest that the shower damages your skin microbiome , which in turn damages its health.

Are you taking a shower too much?

Broadly speaking, it's pretty clear that inner life , urbanized and sterilized leaves people with less complex and robust microbiomes .And it is well established that a shower with shampoo and soap, takes much of your complement of microbes, as well as necessary oils that the cosmetic industry then Try replacing, using conditioners and moisturizers.

And the stench? Here's the problem: Some of the bacteria that make up your microbiome excrete unpleasant chemicals that add odors that flow from the folds and folds of your body. If we stop rinsing them, or kill them with deodorant, things could get quite unpleasant.

However, proponents of shower rejection say the problem only exists because our microbiome is too interrupted. The theory says that your body would adjust to life without shower, and your microbiome renewed, recalibrated, would smell much better.

What do you think? Do you think that our body really does not fit and we should wash less or in the same way that it would adapt to the lack of showers, our body ends up getting used to the presence of soap?
