Yes, the scene where Su Mingcheng and his wife let their father take a bath in "Everything Is Okay". Because his wife loves cleanliness very much, Su Mingcheng's father will smell if he doesn't take a bath. The wife asked her husband to persuade her father to take a bath, but the old man didn't wash it, which led to family disharmony; also, when his father insisted on marrying a nanny, Su Mingcheng said a classic sentence of his father: don't take your money, don't take your money Room, what do you want? The picture shows you are old, and the picture shows you don't take a bath? It can be seen that not taking a bath for a long time can easily arouse the disgust of others.
Everyone has different living habits in daily life, and bathing is no exception. Some people prefer to be clean, especially girls. The first thing they do when they come home from get off work every day is to take a beautiful hot bath. Some people think that I stay at home all day and don’t go out. My body is not dirty and I don’t need to take a bath.

So how about taking a shower? How to wash to be healthy?
In summer, the temperature is relatively high, and you will sweat a little even if you don’t move, so at this time, your body is very uncomfortable. Taking a hot bath can help clean your skin and relieve the fatigue of the day.
In addition, bathing can also help the skin expel excess toxins and debris, and avoid the accumulation of bacteria and microorganisms, but the frequency of bathing should not be too high.
Some people who love to clean even wash two or three times a day. There is a layer of oil on the surface of human skin, which can protect and moisturize the skin. If you take a bath frequently, this layer of oil will be destroyed, resulting in dry skin and even itching, which will easily accelerate skin aging.
Some people joke that their skin is good because they don’t take a bath, but this is just a joke. Not taking a bath for a long time will definitely not make the skin better, but you must pay attention to bathing, not too much or too little.
In cold winter, especially when the seasons change, the frequency of bathing can be reduced accordingly. In winter, our skin is in a closed state, and sweat secretion is relatively small. It’s okay to bathe less frequently, but not for too long, especially a week or more.
A week without a shower is really a long time. Although sweating in winter is not as much as in summer, but you need to go out every day, and you will inevitably be polluted by dust. If you don't take a bath for a long time, bacteria will enter the human body through the skin and cause health hazards.
Therefore, it is suggested that you can wash 2-3 times a week, but this kind of thing is not too harsh. 2-3 times a week is more reasonable, which can make people's skin and body healthier.

So what should you pay attention to when taking a bath?
Don't use some bad body wash or soap. Poor body washes and soaps contain harmful substances that can damage the surface of the skin, leaving it dry or itchy. A long time can cause skin diseases.
- Do not take a bath immediately after a meal
After a meal, the human digestive system will quickly enter the working state, and a large amount of blood will circulate in the stomach. Taking a bath at this time will not have enough blood in the stomach, which will affect the digestion and absorption of food.
Especially for some people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, taking a bath immediately after a meal may cause cardiac ischemia and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is best to take a bath one to two hours after meals. Elderly people with weak constitutions can choose to wash when the yang energy is strong at noon, which can achieve complementary effects and make them less likely to get sick.
- Choose the right water temperature.
In summer, some friends like to take a cold shower. Although it was very refreshing at the time, the cold water is easy to close the pores and cannot help the skin to remove toxins very well, which can easily cause a cold. If things go on like this, it will cause a cold, and even endanger the joints and muscles.
Although hot water can relieve fatigue, too high a temperature can easily dilate blood vessels and increase blood pressure, so the water temperature is best controlled at around 37 degrees.
- Don't take too long. ,
The bathroom environment is relatively closed. In a closed environment, carbon dioxide will increase, making people dizzy; some friends also like to take a bath. If soaked for a long time, the skin is easily dehydrated. The best shower time is about 10 minutes, and the bath time is kept at about 20 minutes.
After taking a bath, the blood vessels of the scalp dilate and the pores of the body open. Do not go out immediately at this time, dry your hair and body, put on your clothes, and keep warm. Otherwise, it is easy to be eroded by cool wind, easy to catch a cold and joint disease.
