Brits are pulling the plug on bathtime

Only one in 10 individuals still have time for a every day dip in the bath tub, according to a new survey.

And according to the poll, half of Brits in no way bathe at all.

Even amongst people who do even now get baths, a lot more than half do so as component of a pampering or rest regime, rather than for basic cleanliness.

The survey by researchers at the universities of Manchester, Edinburgh, Lancaster and Southampton located that the elderly had been much more likely to bathe on a day-to-day basis, as had been the much less affluent and individuals who lease their homes, some of whom might not have a shower.

But despite the fact that the bath may well have fallen out of favour with Brits, the nation certainly is not obtaining grubbier, given that people are showering more usually than ever just before.

As reported in the Every day Mail, practically one particular in 10 of us wash more than after a day, with more and a lot more people taking regular showers.

The researchers explained the shift towards regular washing is placing pressure on already strained water supplies – and could be damaging our well being.

Some scientists think our immune methods become weakened because we are not exposed to ample filth and germs.
