I dont believe your teacher's theory. It's absurd

What nutrients will be washed off?

PLEASE NOTE

bath and shower

the two connote different things to different people

@ poster why not skip taking your bath for 2 days and see how it goes first

after that then i can comment,for now am

:-x

LMFAO!! Nutrients indeed.

I thought this ideology pertains to washing of rice before cooking.

Nutrients down there?? I don die!!

for the idiots who said white people dont bathe (wash/shower) everyday - you obviously dont have any clue what your talking about

@poster are you sure your teacher said to bathe twice a week or wash your hair twice a week? washing your hair everyday is bad because it strips the hair or its natural moisture, but bathing doesnt matter if it is one a day or once an hour makes no differnce.

cant believe this thread is from 06, im obyino & i do shower daily, the thoughts of not washing is stomach churning.

I love this topic thanks for bring this topic up. I move to Anthother country and  my landlord is from Asia the don't bath every day like 4 time a month not only that the don't brush there mouth in the morning only at night the do. The man is a teacher at UBC school. He teach his student on how to become  an MD. The also said when you stay out in the cold for example in winter you want out in the cold and come back you should not take any bath that you will get sick from taking the bath.

I Read a report on this issue too. But I was not surprised White people came up with it,

You need to shower everyday to remove dead skin cells and to not shower down there? I doubt they say do not wash it but not to over wash it because it can mess up your pH balance,

Abeg na dis kind dutty dem bin don tell me but westernised people dem wa bin small n now den don confirmed me suspicion,

I am not a Racist

funny thread. abeg make una dey baff o!

you can get away with that in cold countries.in naija once daily is usually not enough. apart from hygiene reasons i think for us africans it has some ritualistic significance on a subconscious level.
but if i may ask what is health lecture never heard of that. what are you studying exactly.
as far as the nutrient thing goes that is poppycock.
there may be other specious reasons for not bathing daily but i never heard of anyone going to hospital for over bathing unless maybe some mental problem like OCD.
and please for goodness sake make sure you wash nkiru every day

I agree with him, I think he substantiated his claim about it. taking a shower everyday and bathing twice per week is enough
