In today’s world, it’s pretty uncommon to see residential plumbing feature a bathtub but not a shower, although it’s not so surprising to find a shower stall without a bathtub. This revelation might have you believing that showers are inherently better than baths, but not so fast! Is it possible that in our fast-paced world we’ve simply overlooked the benefits of the bath and instead opted for the convenience of the shower? Let’s take a look.
洗澡或不洗澡
A kindly reminder: We’re not debating whether or not you should clean yourself. That you should definitely do, preferably on at least a semi-regular basis. What we’re really looking at is the value of taking a bath.
Unless you’re a child, or an overworked, stressed-out, wine-sipping woman looking for a quiet place to relax, it’s unlikely you’ve taken a bath recently. You may not have even given much thought to this large piece of bathroom plumbing taking up space in your home. Studies show that taking a bath can have significant health benefits, though, so it’s time to give it the attention it deserves.

The Power Shower
Most homes have showers whether they also have a bathtub or not, because most people in America prefer to take showers rather than baths. That wasn’t always the case, though. Until the early twentieth century, most people took baths. Once the shower was invented, however, and the convenience became apparent, people began to see the benefits that bathing in running water can provide. Needless to say, the trend took off.
