Well yes, as strange as it may seem to you, this boy named James Humblin, professor at the Yale University School of Public Health, stopped showering with soap in 2015 and has maintained this practice to this day, which adds more than 8 years. Which does not necessarily imply that James is a slut but that he is interested in his discipline.

Pues sí, por extraño que os parezca, este muchacho llamado James Humblin, profesor de la Escuela de Salud Pública de la Universidad de Yale, dejó de ducharse con jabón en 2015 y ha mantenido esta práctica hasta el día de hoy, lo que suma más de 8 años. Lo cual no implica necesariamente que James sea un guarro sino que se interesa por su disciplina.

Since Hamblin was not seeking to challenge social norms for the sake of it, but rather to conduct an experiment to understand how modern hygiene practices affect our health and in the process promote his book "Clean: The New Science of Skin and the Beauty of Doing Less", a as a criticism of the excess hygiene that we generally have these days.

Ya que Hamblin no buscaba desafiar las normas sociales por gusto, sino realizar un experimento para comprender cómo las prácticas modernas de higiene afectan nuestra salud y de paso promocionar su libro "Clean: The New Science of Skin and the Beauty of Doing Less", un a modo de crítica del exceso de higiene que en general tenemos en estos días.

Obviously Hamblin did not wake up on a Monday and decide to stop bathing but, in his experiment, he gradually used hygiene products, such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, scrubs, deodorants and even moisturizers and focused on cleaning specific areas, that tend to sweat or get more dirty, such as the armpits, groin, and feet.

Obviamente Hamblin no se levantó un lunes y decidió dejar de bañarse sino que, en su experimento, gradualmente el uso de productos de higiene, como champú, acondicionador, jabón, exfoliantes, desodorantes e incluso cremas hidratantes y ee enfocó en la limpieza de zonas específicas que tienden a sudar o ensuciarse más, como las axilas, la ingle y los pies.

Hamblin claims that his body has been adapting to the new routine and that he does not experience unpleasant body odors. In fact, he maintains that reducing the use of hygiene products has benefited his skin, making it healthier and more resistant. Hamblin maintains that the odor body is not necessarily an indicator of dirt, but rather of microbial imbalance.

Hamblin afirma que su cuerpo se ha ido adaptando a la nueva rutina y que no experimenta olores corporales desagradables, de hecho sostiene que la reducción del uso de productos de higiene ha beneficiado a su piel, haciéndola más sana y resistente, Hamblin sostiene que el olor corporal no es necesariamente un indicador de suciedad, sino de desequilibrio microbiano.

It also explains that the odor is produced by bacteria that feed on the oily secretions of sweat and sebaceous glands. By applying hygiene products we alter the natural balance of these microbes, favoring those that generate bad odors, in addition the gradual approach of the project It allowed his body to slowly adapt and keep body odors at bay.

También explica que el olor es producido por bacterias que se alimentan de las secreciones oleosas del sudor y las glándulas sebáceas, al aplicar productos de higiene alteramos el equilibrio natural de estos microbios, favoreciendo a aquellos que generan malos olores, además el enfoque gradual del proyecto permitió a su cuerpo adaptarse lentamente y mantener a raya a los olores corporales.

Obviously, dear children, this is not something that you should rehearse in your homes, it is true that this society may go a little extreme with hygiene as it does with everything, but above all, there are certain areas of the body that, for the good of humanity, they should wash themselves thoroughly and leave the experiments to the Yale professors.

Obviamente, queridos niños, esto no es algo que debáis ensayar en vuestra casas, cierto es que esta sociedad tal vez se extreme un poco con la higiene como lo hace con todo, pero hay sobre todo, ciertas zonas del cuerpo que, por el bien de la humanidad, deben lavarse en profundidad y dejar los experimentos para los profesores de Yale.
