It is said that Cantonese people take a bath and wash their hair every day. Is this really good for their health? Is it really necessary?

If you don't work every day and special industries have to take a bath, then don't take a bath every day, which will damage your skin and your immunity. If it's too hot, wash it.

Is it good for your health to wash your hair and bathe every day?

Personally, I think it will vary from person to person and from time to time. Washing hair and bathing every day, especially frequent use of shampoo, shower gel or soap, will inevitably destroy the oil layer, leading to symptoms such as dry skin and itchy skin, which will easily lead to premature aging of the skin and dry and yellow hair due to lack of oil. Therefore, people who wash their hair and bathe every day should use shampoo, shower gel or soap as little as possible, 2~3 times a week, and others should use warm water as much as possible, which is beneficial to their health.

It varies from person to person: babies are suitable for washing their hair and bathing every day; Fat people or people with strong sebaceous glands are suitable for washing their hair and bathing every day; When the secretion of sebaceous glands in the elderly is reduced, it is not necessary to wash your hair and take a bath every day, especially in dry autumn and winter, once every two or three days, and at the same time, you don't need or use less bath cleaning products, and it is best to rinse with clear water; People suffering from certain diseases (cerebrovascular diseases, epilepsy, etc.). ) it is not suitable for washing your hair and taking a bath every day.

Taking a bath once a day is actually not good.

Because the temperature is low in winter, the body won't sweat a lot. If you take a bath often, your body will destroy normal skin tissue, and the outermost layer of the skin is the stratum corneum, which will reduce the protection of the skin. If it is summer, because of the high weather temperature, the human body will sweat a lot and the body will be sticky, so taking the highest bath every day and simply taking a shower is also conducive to sleep.

Another is to look at the work situation. There is no need to take a bath every day if it is not a lot of physical labor or the working environment is rather bad. So this still depends on the specific situation to draw conclusions.

How to take a healthy bath?

People with obesity and exuberant sebaceous gland secretion should increase the number of baths appropriately on this basis, and for the elderly with decreased sebaceous gland secretion, the number should be reduced appropriately to ensure that the body has no odor.

It is best to control the daily bath water temperature at 35-37℃, which is close to human body temperature, and the summer water temperature should not be lower than 10℃. In addition, the water temperature should not be too high when pregnant women take a bath.

In short, there is no fixed standard for bathing frequency. According to the region, season, personal physique and other factors, adjust the frequency of bathing appropriately, which is the healthiest bathing frequency.
