However, for the dedicated music lover, you have to really delve in the melodic line of it to understand what an impact this underrated genre can have. Jazz has been a part of the creative realm since the 19th century, stemming from the time when African American slaves in the South would play blues music to provide themselves with some sort of emotional relief. As jazz starting becoming popular in the early 1900s, it quickly became known as the perfect amalgamation of blues, ragtime and marching band music.

Regular bathing is obviously a healthy habit. So an extra shower a day may seem like more of a good thing. After all, showers clean your body. And cleaner is better, right? Well, not necessarily. It might be too much of a good thing. You want to shower enough to keep yourself clean (and not too smelly), but not so much that you dry out your skin and strip off its natural protective layer. So how often should you bathe? Though your family and friends may beg to differ, it might not be as often as you think. What Happens When You Shower Too Much? Normal skin has a protective layer of oil and a balance of “good” bacteria that help protect your skin from dryness and germs. If you clean it too often, especially with harsh soaps and lots of scrubbing, you can strip away this layer, leading to dry, irritated, itchy skin. This can cause cracks in the skin that allow germs and allergens to get through resulting in skin infections or allergic reactions. In addition, your body’s immune system needs some stimulation from germs, including those that live on your skin. If you scrub them away too quickly, your body doesn’t have a chance to produce the antibodies that protect against them. Antibacterial soaps can actually add to this by killing off the natural bacterial protection against more infectious germs on the skin that are harder to treat. This can make an even bigger difference in kids as their bodies develop. That’s why some pediatricians and skin doctors recommend against bathing children every day.
