After conducting research, scientists found that daily hygiene procedures can indeed cause some harm. But not in all cases. Negative Impact occurs when often harsh antibacterial soap is used, which completely destroys the top layer of the skin - this is the thinnest fatty film that protects it from external influences and bacteria. It is this film that ensures the elasticity and fresh appearance of the skin.
To negate the negative effect of bath procedures, but not become dirty, we can recommend several things. For starters, don't use harsh cleansers. In general, do not wash with a washcloth every day: if you have not had heavy physical activity, then just rinsing your body is enough. Next, adjust the usual water temperature. It shouldn't be too hot.
Daily hair washing
Should you wash your hair every day? For many, this question is not even worth asking. If your hair is short and needs to be styled, it is often almost impossible to do this without washing your hair. However, this can cause the same problems, but another one is added: from frequent washing hair begins to fall out.
How to reduce negative consequences to a minimum? Almost the same. Choose the shampoo that suits you. If you wash your hair every day, then the shampoo should be appropriate. Usually in this case they write on the bottle: “Suitable for daily use.”
Don't wash your hair hot water. At the end of the bath procedures, rinse your scalp with cool water. This will tighten the hair follicles on your head, so you won't lose more hair than usual when brushing.
Don't forget about various balms and conditioners that allow your hair and scalp to “recover” from the shock of washing. Do not blow dry your hair immediately after turning off the water. Give them 10-15 minutes to dry, during which time you can pat them dry with an additional towel. Also, be careful when choosing a comb so that it does not pull out hair. Since hair follicles are always somewhat relaxed after washing, it is better not to comb wet hair at all.
Today we are all smart and advanced. Watch enough professional athletes and practice every day! Especially if the goal is weight loss. There’s a lot that hasn’t been invented here - losing weight races for money on Instagram, social competitions in clubs for the rich based on the number of visits, banal forum races based on the number of kilometers on a treadmill. Personally, I think that all this is not very necessary, rather useless and sometimes dangerous. And you can exercise every day only if you are a professional athlete or coach, or just a person who is able to eat and sleep during the day after a hard workout, and not rush to the next presentation of a very important product in order to promote your company. And even then, if there is periodization, varying the load, and you are training not “butt, biceps, back, abs,” but different physical qualities. Let's look at popular approaches to training every day.
Why is this necessary?
Let's say you are an accountant. Your whole job is to sit at the computer for 8 and sometimes 12 hours a day. You love your line of work and don’t aspire to be a phytologist. But from your favorite type of activity, in addition to an impressive salary, you also get a stiff neck, your arms hurt, your head hurts, and you’re just mentally tired of sitting all day. You should heed WHO recommendations and include 30 minutes in your day physical activity.
It is worth considering that a respected organization recommends these half an hour a day not so that we do CrossFit or throw weights in them. And so that they can walk, jog, or just walk. In general, this story is not even about cardio, but simply about moving the body in space.
Will this help you lose weight? A big question, the answer to which depends on how healthy you and I eat. But often “just walks” and so on are not attractive for obvious reasons. We spend the day in uncomfortable clothes and shoes that we don’t want to walk in. And after work we just want to be somewhere where there are no strangers and it’s quiet, at home that is. Then the idea of training every day arises.
Newbie
My opinion is quite simple. Beginners should not lift weights every day, and should not use split lifts. This can lead to serious consequences. When do you stop being a newbie? At least a year of regular classes. What should a newcomer do with a sedentary job? For example, like this:
We choose any 3 days, not in a row, but every other day, and work on them with strength exercises with a trainer. We set the task for the trainer to “learn how to do basic exercises”, and not how to “lose weight with exercises”, otherwise the specialist will push you in a predominantly aerobic mode so that you simply burn more calories. And this is precisely what is not needed now;
4 days remain. We devote a couple of them to simple aerobic exercises. Think about something like half an hour of walking at the heart rate of the “start” of the aerobic zone, or the same workout on an elliptical or stationary bike. The remaining two days are any gymnastics with stretching elements of your choice. At least fitness yoga, at least stretching. Moreover, it is better if you go to a trainer for stretching, at least for group classes. Choose not those workouts where pole dancers stretch, they practice quite hard stretching, like in artistic gymnastics. Go to a “mind body” or some other group club class for a couple of months to gain the necessary mobility.
This way you can fit 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity into your day and be able to overcome physical inactivity
When not to do this: And now for a dose of reality. How long do you sleep? What is your caloric intake? If the answers are something like 5-6 hours and “need minus 1000 kcal per day,” stop with daily training. Chances are you're not Wolverine to regenerate out of thin air. Well, or you don’t need to lose weight at all if you are Wolverine.
Intermediate and daily training
Typical classes for intermediate levels of training solve the following problems:
power generation. That is, you learn some of the following: plyometrics, kettlebell exercises, weightlifting snatch and clean and jerk, or near-maximal sprints;
training one of the basic strength exercises. Press, squat or deadlift. For those “who need additional training” - also pull-ups and one of the available options for the military press. Moreover, all this is not “packed” into one training day, like gentlemen bodybuilders, but “spaced out” throughout the week so that our sports hero has time to recover;
auxiliary exercises. In light mode with medium weight, with rest, and calmly, please. There may be “isolation” here for those who focus more on aesthetic goals. Or options for basic exercises that work on certain “weak points” of the basic movements, for those for whom strength is more important. Or some hybrid of the first and second;
general physical training or endurance training. If a friend of ours strives for fast weight loss, there is a great temptation to “shove” a ton of treadmill into his training plan. But correctly, as everyone guessed, it is not so. What's the right way? Individually select the number of general physical fitness exercises (this can be circuit training, a complex with a barbell, weights, dumbbells) or the notorious cardio, which will not “kill” the client, but will simply serve as a bridge between work and rest;
stretching
So, typical tasks for an intermediate level involve a maximum of 4 workouts per week. On rest days, you can go to stretching or yoga, and do some low-impact cardio, like swimming. The only exceptions can be people who do not train power for one reason or another (physical limitations, poor posture, injuries). They can do a little more intense cardio on free days, for example, pushing the same sled in a sprint style or, if their health allows, working with weights or running in interval style.
Translated into accessible terms, it would be better for you not to practice every day if you have already reached this level of training. The weights here, as a rule, already tend to the weight of your own body. And it’s quite easy to get injured by overly tiring the central nervous system with your “jumping.” How are “nerves” and injuries related? Yes, it’s very simple, comrades who “get away” every day can be seen from afar by their specific “lethargy” and impaired coordination of movements. Want physical activity? Learn to walk, or as some fans do, read books on a treadmill. But just don't train in the gym.
Laws of the world of bodybuilding
But those who train “muscles” rather than physical qualities have a significant advantage. He is also a minus. Having reached a certain level, they are forced to conduct about 5 training sessions a week in the gym. And also do cardio. But completely different schemes already work there - you must “go through” one muscle group a maximum of 2 times a week, and carefully incorporate cardio in an amount that does not cause “degradation” for you personally, that is, a decrease in muscle level.
What about advanced fitnessists? Can they do it every day? People who have been training for a long time should, in my humble opinion, choose a side or cycle the work on physical qualities. Endurance training can be done up to 6 times a week. Strength training - no, just like power and speed, they become incompatible with life in an average volume of more than 4 sessions per week. So maybe it’s worth thinking about quality as a criterion for training effectiveness?

Many people think that one of the indicators of goodness is an active sex life, but is this true? Today we’ll talk about whether it’s harmful to have sex frequently and what opinion experts hold.
Is it healthy to have sex every day?
As is known, the peak of sexual activity in women occurs at the age of 27-35 years, and in men at 18-33 years. At this time, a person can actually have sex not only daily, but several times a day; after the peak of activity has passed, the desire will become somewhat lower, and, as a rule, both a man and a woman will feel most comfortable if intimacy will occur 2-4 times a week. Of course, the figures given are averages, and there will always be pairs where the indicators will be completely different. But, based on them, it can be noted that the answer to the question of whether it is useful to exercise frequently will largely depend on the age of the partners. During peak activity, daily intimacy is quite natural.
The benefits of daily sex will also be influenced by a person's gender. Doctors do not set any restrictions for women; on the contrary, after orgasm, a girl’s immune system begins to work more efficiently, but guys should exercise some caution in this matter. The constant need to produce sperm forces the body to turn to hidden resources, so daily intimacy can reduce the natural ability to resist infections and diseases. Experts recommend that guys limit themselves to 2-4 times a week; here's how often a man can have sex, according to doctors and scientists. But, if the body’s need is much higher, and this also happens, you can afford to increase this norm. It all depends on individual characteristics.
Cleanliness is the key to health. Each of us has heard this phrase more than once, and we walk through life with this motto: shower in the morning to wake up, in the evening to relieve the stress of the day and make it easier to fall asleep. Is it really good to take a shower every day?
According to doctors, during the shower the body loses some particles that make up the hydrolipid film on our body. Its main function is to protect our body from various viruses, fungi, and infections.
By taking a shower daily, or even several times a day, we violate the integrity of this hydrolipidic film, which takes about a day to regenerate. This film is formed from the secretion of the sebaceous glands and, if its integrity is constantly violated, the entire regeneration process can be disrupted. By making such a conclusion, doctors do not convince people to stop swimming, but, nevertheless, it is necessary to realize that people who wash off the hydrolipidic film daily are more defenseless against the attack of viruses and bacteria.
How often should you shower?
Experts in the field of hygiene and epidemiology advise taking a shower 3-4 times a week, that is, every other day. This frequency will help preserve the hydrolipid film and thereby reduce the risk of various viral and other diseases. Taking a shower every other day does not mean giving up hygiene on other days; no one has yet canceled washing your hands, feet, armpits and genitals.
For those who cannot refuse daily bathing, there are some simple recommendations: do not use too much hot water, since there is a risk of drying the skin, refuse antibacterial soap, choosing regular toilet soap with neutral acidity. Once every 7-10 days you need to use a body scrub that will remove dead cells and stimulate regeneration. It is better to give preference to organic or fine scrubs that will not damage the skin. After water procedures, it is recommended to apply cream or body oil to the skin.
