一般人幾乎每天洗澡,以為要洗香香纔衛生,不過根據時代雜誌報導,專傢說:「一周隻需要洗一次或兩次澡就好。」點擊下方廣播《子璿教英文》係列〈新聞英文〉〈You apparently only need to shower once or twice a week,according to experts〉,讓子璿老師告訴你,怎麼樣洗澡最健康。
●You apparently only need to shower once or twice a week,according to experts
根據專傢說法,一周隻需要洗一次或兩次澡
●Showers are pretty much a part of everyone’s daily routine – whether you like them or not.Some people even have two or three as they consider themselves more ‘clean’ if they do.But you may not need to have your daily shower, according to this survey.
洗澡佔每個人日常生活中很大的一部分,不論你喜不喜歡洗澡。有些人甚至一天洗兩到三次,因為他們認為這樣比較乾淨。但是根據這篇調查,你可能不需要每天洗澡。
●According to Dr. Elaine Larson, an infectious disease expert at Columbia University School of Nursing, you only need to shower once or twice a week. She told Time: ‘People think they’re showering for hygiene or to be cleaner, but bacteriologically, that’s not the case.’
根據美國哥倫比亞大學護理學院傳染病專傢拉爾森錶示,其實每周洗澡一到兩次即可,他告訴時代雜誌:「大傢都認為洗澡是為瞭衞生或更乾淨,但從細菌學角度而言,並不是這樣。」
●She added:‘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.
拉爾森說:「除非你身上很臭、或去瞭健身房,洗澡可以去除異味。但站在遠離疾病的立場來說,經常洗手就已經足夠。」
●It’s already known that if you have too many showers, it could in fact lead to more problems. For example, cracked skin could allow germs to get in while constant showers could strip away healthy oils and good bacteria.
事實上,過度洗澡可能會導緻更多問題。例如,龜裂、乾燥的皮膚容易讓細菌有機可乘,不斷的洗澡可能會帶走身體健康的油脂及益菌。
●Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell, assistant professor of dermatology at George Washington University, says he tells people who shower daily not to cover shower gel their whole bodies.‘Hit your pits, butt and groin, which are the areas that produce strong-smelling secretions. The rest of your body doesn’t need much soaping.
另外,美國喬治華盛頓大學、皮膚學助理教授布蘭登·米歇也告訴每天天洗澡的人:「不需要全身都塗抹清潔劑,隻要用在重點部位,例如身體凹陷處的腋下、臀部、鼠蹊部,這些會産生強烈異味分泌物的部位。身體其他部位則不需要用太多肥皂徹底清潔。」
