8. Summer versus winter undoubtedly makes some difference.. No AC versus a home that feels like a freezer?

Working out--especially outdoors each day?

Geebus, in summer I could probably do so multiple times/day if I'm active, wearing mosquito repellent when I go out, and if the A/C is minimally active. But, I do try not to wash my hair as much as I once did--at most every other day. And I don't disagree with the article recommendations... Most people just need to pay attention to the "sweaty" parts of their bodies, rather than a full shower, at least SOME of the time.

And in winter? Less.

That said, clean clothing is everything... Nothing worse than "stale, sweaty clothing"...

Oh, and for my least favorite TV $$$ grifter/"OB/GYN" Dr. Shannon Klingman (creator of "Lume"/"Mando" ), will you kindly just take a damned shower at least occasionally? No one needs your crap products and all the damned plastic packaging you are shoving down their direction 24/7. (And to my colleagues who all but ran her out of her last professional conference for pushing that grifting bullshit, THANK YOU!)
