There's no such thing as showering too much, right? Wrong... Despite the practice that most people shower once or twice a day, we're only meant to shower once or twice a week. As gross as it sounds - according to experts humans daily showing is mainly for "aesthetic reasons." 没有洗澡洗得太频繁这种说法，对吧？那你可就错了……尽管人们通常的做法是每天洗一次或两次澡，但实际上我们应该每周只洗一两次。虽然听起来有点恶心--但根据专家所述，人类每天洗澡主要是因为"爱美。" Speaking to TIME, Dr. Elaine Larson, an infectious disease expert and associate dean for research at Columbia University School of Nursing argues: "People think they're showering for hygiene or to be cleaner, but bacteriologically, that's not the case. Bathing will remove odour if you're stinky or have been to the gym. But in terms of protecting you from illness, washing your hands regularly is probably adequate." 哥伦比亚大学护理学院的传染病专家和研究副院长伊莱恩·拉森博士在接受《时代》杂志的采访时说道："人们认为洗澡是为了卫生，为了更干净，但从细菌学角度来说，情况并不是这样的。如果你闻起来臭哄哄的或是刚从健身房健身回来，那洗澡能去除你的臭味。但在保护你不生病方面，经常洗手就够了。" |
