Did You Know? Taking A Shower Daily is Also Harmful to the Body



Most people around the world, especially Filipinos, want to feel fresh and smell good all the time. Thus, vanity and hygiene, are what often drives us to the shower every morning and sometimes, before retiring at night.


But did you know that a daily shower has its own side effects and is actually harmful to the body? To be more specific, too much bathing or excessive shower damages our skin in the long run.


Most people around the world, especially Filipinos, want to feel fresh and smell good all the time. Thus, vanity and hygiene, are what often drives us to the shower every morning and sometimes, before retiring at night. But did you know that a daily shower has its own side effects and is actually harmful to the body? To be more specific, too much bathing or excessive shower damages our skin in the long run. British dermatologists, Dr. Joshua Zeichner and Dr. Ranella Hirsch said that the notion of feeling the need to shower is born more out of ‘cultural norms’ and less of any health benefits. So how does excessive shower affect your body? The use of chemical cleaning products harms the body. These include bath soap, shower gel and cream we used to wash off the dirt and germ from our body. The chemicals in these products affects the PH level in our skin and disturb its natural balance. Frequent washing actually removes the good, useful bacteria which keep your skin healthy. These are the same bacteria that protects your skin from the harmful ones. Without them, the skin will be more susceptible to infection by causing small cracks on the surface. It causes your skin and hair to become dry. Excessive shower reduces the natural oil of the skin and the hair. For the skin, this leads to the breaking of blood vessels and eventually, drying. It also makes the hair dull, dry, or frizzy. Excessive scrubbing hurt the skin and affects the sebum which protects it from foreign particles. This could lead to wrinkles if done frequently. Lastly, you may just be wasting water which other people in some parts of the world don’t have much. Having said that, how often should one take a bath without feeling conscious about how we smell to others? John Oxford, Professor of Virology at Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry said at least every other day would be enough as long as people wash their hands frequently and took special care of the body parts below the belt. If you don’t actually go to the gym every day or work in a chemical factory, this frequency of shower will do just fine. You are probably not dirty like you think you are.

OFWs in Hong Kong, Here’s How to Avoid Heatstroke Amid Sweltering Summer Heat



The months of July and August are the hottest months of the year in the subtropical Hong Kong; with temperature reaching as high as 33  C (91.4  F) at its peak.

While this temperature might appear normal in other parts of the world, especially those with more temperate or oceanic climates, the city’s high humidity levels compound the heat stress a person feels which contribute largely to the cause of heatstroke.

The months of July and August are the hottest months of the year in the subtropical Hong Kong; with temperature reaching as high as 33 C (91.4 F) at its peak. While this temperature might appear normal in other parts of the world, especially those with more temperate or oceanic climates, the city’s high humidity levels compounded the heat stress a person feels which contributed largely to the cause of heatstroke. To illustrate, according to Observatory’s Hong Kong Heat Index, a 33 C temperature combined with 85% humidity would make a person feel as if the weather is 50 C. Last month, an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) in Hong Kong, 37-year-old Bernadett Manalo Natividad, reportedly died after suffering from heat stroke. Her employer found her unconscious in her room and was immediately rushed to the hospital on July 21. Natividad was unable to recover and never regained consciousness. She died two days later. On August 2, the Philippine consulate received another report of an OFW who died after suffering heart attack. She, too, was found lifeless on the floor and is believed to have died days earlier. It was not confirmed yet what triggered the second victim’s heart attack, but heat stroke is being eyed as the main culprit. With the string of OFW deaths in Hong Kong this summer of 2018, believed to be related to extremely hot temperature, here’s how to avoid being a victim of heat stroke. Heatstroke occurred whenever the human body failed to effectively cool down its temperature as a natural response like sweating and increased breathing rate especially when it gets hotter around us. It is a serious form of heat injury and is considered a medical emergency. Early symptoms of heat exhaustion include giddiness, headache, nausea, shortness of breath and mental confusion. But once the body temperature hits 41 C or higher, the victim could experience convulsions, and eventually lose consciousness. A first aid must be applied to bring down the victim’s temperature, otherwise he or she could be in great danger that may result to death. While anybody could be a victim of heatstroke, those who are at risk the most are the obese, the elderly, the sick and the children. Heres’ how to prevent heatstroke, according to the Hong Kong Observatory. - First, always pay attention the daily weather warning especially during summer - Wear light-coloured, loose and air permeable clothing to reduce heat absorption and promote heat loss from sweating. - Bring and drink plenty of fluid to prevent dehydration. - Avoid drinks containing caffeine (e.g. coffee and tea) or alcohol, because these substances will speed up water loss from the body through the urinary system. - Do not engage in prolonged activities such as hiking and trekking under extremely hot weather, as heat, sweating and exhaustion place additional demands on one’s physique. - Perform outdoor activities in the morning or late afternoon, if possible. - Choose an indoor venue with good ventilation by opening all windows and using fan or air-conditioning. Avoid doing vigorous exercise in a hot or stuffy environment. - Re-schedule your work to cooler times of the day. If you must work in a hot environment, introduce shading in the work area where practicable, then start slowly and pick up the pace gradually. Take breaks every now and then in a cool area to recharge yourself. - Do not stay inside a parked vehicle. - Stop in the course of activity immediately and seek medical advice if feeling unwell.

Working abroad, away from a family is one of the hardest things an Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) will have to endure. Homesickness is number one enemy of an OFW and since they are living on their own while in a foreign land, sometimes their happiness is put on risk, not just this but also their health. But as an OFW, you can be happy and healthy while working abroad. How? You can follow this seven simple tips to have a happy life while working abroad. 1. Prepare Yourself Being an OFW is not an easy task especially if this is your first time. This is why it is important that you must prepare yourself because culture shock is real. Before flying, learn the custom and tradition of your host country. Learn about the dos and don'ts, common foods and learn a few useful phrases in the local language. 2. Enjoy working Do not just endure but also enjoy working in another country. You can be grateful for the opportunity it brings like getting close up and personal with their local culture. Walking around your new city will bring you face-to-face with the everyday lives that your neighbors are living. It is also the best way to discover new places you only see on a postcard before. 3. Sign-up for activities You are a new person in a new place. No friends and life are a little bit boring. Aside from visiting beautiful places you can actually sign-up for some activities in your area that will keep you busy during your day-off. Activities like a gym membership or join a sporting group where you can find new friends. This is a big help so that you will be physically active and also you can meet people with same interest as yours. 4. Build your network While working abroad, OFW needs a support system. Leaving family and friends in the Philippines is hard, that is why it is important to build a new network of people who can be there for you. A group of friends you can go with for a weekend potluck or a few people who can talk listen to your stress and problems. Filipinos communities are everywhere in the world and this is a good start to meet new friends, but also be careful when meeting a new people. 5. Like like a local Yes you are a Filipino and you already have Filipino friends, but make an effort to befriend with local people or other nationalities. You can learn their languages as well. Eat their food, observe their custom and tradition as possible. Enjoying whats good about where you are is a simple way to fight homesickness. 6. Try new things Every country is different, and your host country will have many things to do and see that you never dreamed of back home. You can try these things, such as visiting nearby cities on your day off and try some new experience only your host country can offer. 7. Save and Invest Oops.. so much for enjoying and do not forget the reason why you are in abroad in the very first place. We all love to live like we are on vacation when we are earning high salaries, but always remember that cost of living in abroad are often higher compared to the Philippines. Save and protect your earnings and prepare for your retirement because working abroad is not forever! Do it with hard work and self-discipline!
