Taking a shower twice a day is not good for the body, this is the reason
Rio De Janeiro - For most people, bathing is an important thing to do every day to keep the body clean and healthy. However, what if someone is lazy to take a shower every day?
Most likely the person will be labeled dirty. Yet according to the latest scientific studies, rarely take a bath is good body health.
Quoted from the page iflscience.com on Friday (9/2/2018), a scientific study conducted on the primitive Yanomami tribe in the interior of the Amazon jungle. This tribe is known to rarely come into contact with water for bathing to protect itself from the threat of 'predators', be it other enemy tribes and wild animals that inhabit the river.
Interestingly, it actually makes the skin Yanomami tribe people have a high bacterial complexity so as to be a natural antibiotic for their bodies. As a result, their bodies became more immune to the virus attack the disease.
When viewed in terms of scientific, bacterial complexity is a collection of micro-biome is important to support the smooth immune system, digestion, and liver function.
If the complexity of these bacteria is reduced, then the body's defense system will be vulnerable to viral disease attacks, especially in humid tropical climates, where virulent bacteria are able to multiply rapidly.
It is not mentioned that rarely bathing will actually have a good effect on the health of the body, but scientifically proven good for skin health. The skin moisture will be well preserved if bathing is done regularly, most often once a day.
Chemical exposure to soap is at risk of reducing the skin's moisture levels if used too frequently, and this is what many people often complain about when they are done bathing.
"Burn Fat with Cold Water Shower"
Meanwhile, a cold shower is said to increase metabolism while helping the body burn more fat throughout the day. Apparently there is a scientific basis for this statement.
Cold temperatures have been proven to increase the activity of burning brown fat to produce energy. In one study from Harvard, people who for 10 days were in a room with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, the level of fat brown activity increased dramatically.
People with a lower amount of brown fat also had a smaller body mass index, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
In one study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, those who spent two hours in places with temperatures below 18 degrees Celsius each day could lose weight by 1 -2 kg within six weeks.
"I've never had any studies that show the success of losing weight by adding a cold shower," says Spencer Nadolsky, M.D., family physician and a member of American Board and Obesity Medicine, and author of The Fat Loss Prescription.
"Many people say this way is revolutionary, but it really is not.This method will not work wonders for you," he continued.
