    I bath at night, and shower in the morning. That may be a waste of water, but it helps me relax at night and wake up in the morning.

    In a bath lying horizontal allows you to wash all the bacteria producing areas down south, you can relax and have a good scrub. My bath has a shower hose on the taps so I can rinse off the bath water residues. I was showering for decades, no baths, but as I got older I found baths much more relaxing and I could spend more time cleaning my important bits and I felt more refreshed. I take a really hot bath sometimes and I sleep like a baby afterwards.

    The single argument presented against showers does not apply to places where it's always humid. I lived in Brazil and Canada and in Brazil I could shower 4x a day and my skin would still be oily whereas in Canada 2 showers leave my skin dry. Simple solution: apply a moisturizer.

    Showers are what I call a wash,just like u would if u washed yourself in the sink.What u can do in a bath that u can't do in a shower is clean your ears properly by dipping your head in hot water and releasing all that wax.Showers also don't open your pores like a bath does,although your cleaning outer dirt off your skin,your not opening up your pores enough to clean your skin properly. Baths get u cleaner,it's as simple as that.

    • @stemidill886
      @stemidill886 Před 4 lety +2

      @Vonte Stevenson yes u r right,but the fact is a bath GETS u cleaner.So that bit of dirt u r washing off after a bath,outways the dirt u don't get with a shower. Think of it this way,have a shower first then a bath.See how much dirt still comes off u after a shower.U will get a shock.When u wash your clothes in a washing machine,u have 2 options really,a quick wash or a full cycle.A shower is the quick wash and a bath is the full cycle.Which gets your clothes cleaner???lol.

    • @stemidill886
      @stemidill886 Před 4 lety

      @Vonte Stevenson I kno what your saying but all the dirt doesn't go back on u.Right,a shower removes dirt on your outer body but your skin is layered.To get the dirt removed from your skin to its best is to soak in hot water to open your pores.Showers weren't created to get u cleaner but to save on water.Im not saying bath every day.But I would recommend a bath at least once a week to remove that dirt in your skin u don't see.Plus u get your ears cleaned better in a bath.Showers create dermatitis and cleansing brands are making a fortune off people who only shower. I've never suffered with blocked ears or spots because I bathe.

    • @stemidill886
      @stemidill886 Před 4 lety +1

      @Vonte Stevenson showering was created to clean the body,not fully but it's purpose was to use less water than bathing.Its an illusion of fact that people represent when they quote cleanliness,that a shower gets u cleaner than a bath.Ive showered,I feel clean afterwards but never as clean as u feel after a bath.For some reason theirs something built in your body that just knows what's better. The facts though are true,a shower is a wash and a bath is a full clean.Recommended bath at least once a week.

      ​@@nyemawalkerdoesn't work as well as a bath think about your ears to release wax build up. You can't do that in a shower. When I showered only,I got blocked ears because of this. In a bath you can release wax in your ears easily. You would need to be in a shower for about half an hour for this to work or go to a sauna. You should bathe at least once a week to clean where a shower can't. IMO a shower is just like getting a wash in a sink,gets u clean but nowhere near as clean as a bath will.

    Try this, clean the tub with soap, rinse it out, then rinse dirt off your body and feet for 1 minute and then take a nice therapeutic bath? Laying in a bath has many positive health benefits. A shower is ok when you're short on time, but I have noticed a bath truly rebalances the body's blood, cells, organ functions and the mind and spirit. Also, many people who grow gardens often use the same bath water to water their plants and trees outside.

    Taking a shower everyday breaks up the accumulation of,
    Dirt
    Oil
    Sweat and
    Bacteria
    Body odor
    Taking a Shower everyday is very important, its healthy and normal.
    No one should intentionally miss a day of Showering.

    The thing with baths is even if you clean in it, all that stuff you’re scrubbing goes to that water you’re still in. So you then are just evenly marinating in the same thing you’re ‘washing off’

    @hellodrhd I was speaking to a friend one day. She was very adamant about rather taking showers over taking a bath. Literally she doesn't bathe. She showers. So I thought about it. She made the same points that you make. In todays times people are always on the go. They rush from one point to the next. You see it in the home. You don't have time for a bath. Take a shower. Hurry up! We gotta go! You see it in the kitchen. Um thanks honey for cooking such a great breakfast, but I don't have time for it. I'll take a piece of toast. I love you! And whoosh right out the door. You see it outside the home. Hey Al. How is it going? Not now Ryan. I gotta get to work. We can talk when I get home. But when you get home Ryan trying to get that conversation but your dinner is getting cold. How about we get together on the weekend? The weekend comes... Geez... Ryan... I totally forgot. The boss gas this big account that needs my attention and I just don't have time! I promise you we will get to talk.
    Problem with that whole scenario is time. Today's society is that I want it now attitude. Baths simply take too long. Showers get you clean enough to pass the check of family, friends, and coworkers. It's like an invisible hi five to showers and everyone in your life doing the same. So what is it exactly about showers that make them so much more superior to taking a bath?
    1) Showers are quick. You can rinse from head to toe, lather down, and rinse again in less than 5 minutes. Adding in the water heat up time. Which is where your cold shower came in at. The water was cold when you first jumped in and it shocked you out of your sleep. Then slowly the water heated. By that time you've lathered your face cloth and begun scrubbing down. By the time the water is fully hot you're on your way out of the water. Dry off, get dressed, and go!
    Problem with that scenario is time. A good plumber will tell you to run the water for at least 5 minutes to get all of the germs and bacteria out of the pipes that has germinate overnight or even over the day. Your pores don't open under cold water. They open widely under heat. But by the time your pores open up under the heat of the hot water you are on your way out because you gotta go. But lets say you hung out under that water while it's hot. Your pores open up. You scrub down. You twist your rag to remove what is in it. Soap, dirt, etc. You scrub down some more. You finish and off you go. You meet the requirements of clean to everyone in your life. But are you fully clean?
    Now enter the bath. People say that you stew in your own dirt as you bathe. The soap continually sitting on your skin strips the natural oils. You are in that water far too long. Time is of the essence and you're laying around in the bathtub stewing your own juices. Then when done you don't rinse the soap from your body. Quick question: If you take a long 25 minute shower then run bath water, would you see dirt in the bathtub water when you sit down for a 25 minute bath? Yes or no? If yes then why is it that after a 25 minute shower you still see dirt coming out of your body? Hmmm? If no then maybe showers truly are superior to baths after all. Have you ever done that test? Think about the ramifications of what you told your fan base if what you said was misleading sir! You are a Dr. after all.
