I find that swimming after a workout helps a lot. A good idea to go to a gym that has a pool if possible.

No it's not unhealthy to shower everyday.  Just make sure you put lotion on your body each week, so your skin doesn't dry up. You should do that anyway even if you didn't shower everyday.

That is gross. You are not supposed to pee in the shower. Did you ever learn proper hygiene?

I read in Prevention Magazine that it's best to eat 2-4 hours before you exercise and make sure you drink plenty of water. You can eat right after exercising.

as long as the shower is on & functioning normally , you pee down & not on the wall or on the sides of the tub that are not rinsed by the shower spray . you are in the shower, the drain is not pluged,  the water is rinsing you pee down the drain as you go, & you wash yourself there with soap when you are done. then it is ok\n\nif you are in a shower with people or  in a shower room it is ok as long as no one else sees you go.  if you can be seen peeing in the shower it may not be appropriate for you to go then & should etiher wait til they leave or use the proper facility.  you don't want to piss someone else off.\n\nif you are female you may have to take an additional precaustion in this area if in a shower room due to a period or unusal discharge when others are present.\n\nit is better than ok for people who like "golden showers" or like being peed on.\n\nhope this helps \n\nss

Stay away from polyesters, and fabrics that don't let the skin breathe. Take a shower after physical activity, and after work. If it's a rash, sometimes a dab of Selsun Blue can curtail any fungus-inspired irritations. Leave it on in the shower for a minute or two like conditioner, every day for 2 weeks, usually there is improvement.

Like with other girls/boys people after gym or something? I don't think you HAVE to if you don't want to. We have showers at our school (I'm in 10th) and I don't think they've ever been used. And I'm almost 100% sure they can't make you shower. \n\nIf you're asking this for after gym or something, it might be a good idea to take some deodorant and body spray just to make sure you don't smell. =]

Warm water increases blood flow, and if you prefer cold showers the cold water is stimulating. Also the smell of the soap no matter how light is somewhat therapeutic. There's also the feeling of washing away problems,stress, anger, and all negative things down the drain.

yes it's ok to bathe.  It will not make the infection worse.

Well, I'm not sure if this qualifies as a scientific reason, but when you're in the shower usually your respiratory airways expand due to the water vapor, and your muscles (including those in your throat) are more relaxed. Therefore it's a good opportunity to sing and sound better than you usually do (and in case you bark, as I do, in the shower the outcome is slightly more acceptable). Also bathrooms often have great acoustics, it's almost like an opera house (only wet).

I don't think it makes any difference as long as you get the job done well.  I'm not aware of anyone who has a hot water tank that will last through an hour long shower, but even if you do, the hot water will dry out your skin.  A moisturizing bath however is a different matter.  It will not dry your skin as much.\n\nI think your friend is feeding you a bunch of bull.  Staying in the shower longer will not make you any healthier.  On the other hand, there is no need to rush either.

Depends on rate of flow of your shower versus amount of water you put in your tub to take a bath.\n\nFor example, I used to run out of hot water when taking a long shower.  Since I have a 40 gallon hot water tank, we know that I was using at least 40 gallons of water.  When I fill my tub with water for a bath I do not use 40 gallons of water so the shower was more wasteful.\n\nI recently put a restrictor in the shower head, and I no longer run out of hot water.  So the water use is much closer to that used in a bath.  \n\nIf you take short showers (say 5 - 10 min.), you probably will use less water than in a full-tub bath.  But if you take longer showers a bath may be a better option.\n\nPersonally, I prefer showers so that I won't be soaking in my own filth after a hard day of work.  However, I do occasionally soak in a hot bath to soothe sore muscles.

Take a shower when you want too. There is no law that says you have to sllep overnight to take a shower. I take one in the morning and at night after work.
