Dr. Binocs explains what happens to your body when you stop bathing, washing hair, cutting nails, brushing teeth, and sleeping, in a kids' educational format.

## Key Takeaways

- Regular bathing, hair washing, nail trimming, and tooth brushing protect against infection, odor, and disease.
- Occasional skipping of hygiene is acceptable, but long-term neglect causes significant health and social problems.
- Good sleep is essential for memory, reaction time, and overall health.

## What the video covers

- Skipping baths leads to body odor, which people around you notice more than you do due to olfactory fatigue.
- Bacteria and dirt cause itching, scratching, skin infections, and illnesses like the common cold or hepatitis A.
- Lack of washing can cause acne, greasy hair, dandruff, lice, and accumulation of dead skin cells.
- Dermatitis neglecta can cause round patches on the skin when hygiene is neglected for a long time.
- Shampoo originated in ancient India from boiled sapindus berries containing saponins, and the term spread to Europe via 18th-century traders.
- Not washing hair can lead to bacteria buildup, odor, itchy scalp, clogged follicles, and possible hair thinning or loss over months.
- Nails grow from the matrix, with keratin-producing cells; fingernails grow about 3.47 mm per month, faster during the day.
- Untrimmed nails can become brittle, break, harbor germs, and limit daily activities.
- Poor tooth brushing allows acid and bacteria to build up, causing tooth decay and cavities.
- Sleep deprivation weakens memory and reaction time, and extended lack of sleep can be dangerous.

smells from your own body after you have been subjected to smelling it for a long time but unfortunately those around you won't be so lucky and start to avoid you with the lamest excuses they can come up with and after some time you'll start

02:17

scratching your skin as bacteria and dirt start working together to cause the itching sensation extensive scratching can also worsen any existing skin condition and break the skin cells leading to infection yes these germs and bacteria will enter your system through your

02:40

03:03

Speaker A

a skin condition called hyper caratos and if this still is it enough to convince you into taking a bath then how about acne yes the extra naughty germies will cause inflammation of follicles and excessive seam production on your skin

evidence of the production uction of soap likee materials dates back to around 2,800 BC in ancient Babylon also the English word shampoo originated in India about 300 years ago and at first involved a head massage with some fragrant

04:52

Speaker A

oil hope you learned something new in today's episode until next time it's me Dr boox Zo booming out ah never [Music] mind no oh it's been a long time since you washed your hair little kitty so you better shampoo it now why H now that's

05:25

Speaker A

an excellent question hey friends in today's episode let us wash into this hairy problem and answer an arid question what if we stop washing our hair zoom in today we have so many products available to take care of our shiny

05:48

Speaker A

silky hair right from soaps to shampoo to conditioners and so on but have you ever wondered what did people use to wash the their hair before shampoo and other products were invented well it all started in Ancient India where a substance like a shampoo

06:12

Speaker A

was made by boiling sapindus a tropical tree with Indian gooseberries the sapindus berries also known as soap berries contain saponins a type of organic chemical that creates a soapy formam that helps soak up any oils and nourish the

06:37

Speaker A

hair then in the 18th century when European Traders visited India they were fascinated by this practice called champoo a process of massaging and soothing the head and hair with soap berries and later they took this technique back home where the term jump

07:00

Speaker A

became shampoo and by the 1930s the liquid shampoo we know today became popular and soon the cultural expectation of washing your hair became a regular practice but the vital question what will happen if we stop washing our hair

07:22

Speaker A

well the simple answer is it depends yes my dear friends if you h hardly exercise or play or live in a dry climate you might have better success with not washing your hair this is due to an increase in natural oil production known

07:43

Speaker A

as sebum which helps keep our hair moist but that's just short-term happiness because if you keep your hair dry for months you might have to face more complicated issues than just a bad head day yes as our hair traps moisture from

08:05

Speaker A

the surrounding it also attracts bacteria with it and if we fail to wash them off it will eventually lead to a foul odor and an itchy scalp due to dead skin cells and when you play and exercise the excessive sweat will only

08:26

Speaker A

make the matter worse increasing the STI smell but on the other hand if you're one of the lucky ones with a smellf free man you'll be happy to know that your hair color will last a whole lot longer

08:45

Speaker A

than those who do wash their hair but if you decide to continue your no hair wash spree for about 6 months to a year the bacteria would accumulate and clog up your hair follicles which could lead to unwanted pimples hair thinning

09:05

Speaker A

and even hair loss well you won't have to worry about washing your hair after that though but on the other hand some experts claim that not washing your hair might actually improve your hair's quality and make them look better than

09:26

Speaker A

before also it's important to remember that not all shampoo especially those containing harsh detergents is suitable for your hair so it's essential to use Alternatives like coconut oil or even baking soda and apple cider vinegar but whatever you do do your own

09:52

Speaker A

research before applying anything to your hair trivia time did do you know the average person has 100,000 to 150,000 strands of hair also on average you shed around 50 to 150 strands of hair a day hope you learned something new in

10:18

Speaker A

today's episode until next time it's me Dr boox zooming out never mind oh little kitty your nails are getting bigger please make sure to cut them off why well that's a scenario I'll explain to you all by answering a nail biting

10:51

Speaker A

question what if you never cut your nails zoom in in the Big World of taking care of ourselves one little thing we sometimes forget is trimming our nails it might seem okay for a while but soon it can

11:09

Speaker A

get pretty messy but before we talk about that let's find out how your nails grow in the first place Nails start growing behind your u-shaped cuticle in the root area of the nail called The Matrix this Matrix is

11:28

Speaker A

filled with special FZ cells that continuously divide and create nail cells these cells produce the protein keratin the same material found in hair and the outer layer of the skin as new keratin filled cells develop they force the older ones to get back together and

11:50

Speaker A

push up through the skin once they emerge these cells lose their ability to multiply and form the visible part of your nail known as the nail plate this nail plate lies on the nail bed the area underneath your

12:09

Speaker A

fingernails on average fingernails grow at a rate of about 3.47 mm per month but this can accelerate due to factors like nail trauma or if you have the unhygienic habit of biting them additionally they tend to grow faster during the daytime

12:29

Speaker A

time when the hand is more active due to increased blood circulation and cell formation so considering these factors how long can you let them grow to explore this let's visit Minnesota USA where we meet Diana Armstrong she has refrain from cutting

12:54

Speaker A

her nails since 1997 and currently holds the guine world record for the longest fingernails on a pair of hands with a combined length of 42 ft with such extreme length each of Diana's Nails requires 4 to 5 hours to

13:18

Speaker A

paint using 15 to 20 bottles of nail polish and a woodworking tool for filing however these lengthy Nails come at a cost imposing limitations on daily activities such as picking up items from the floor and even opening the refrigerator door

13:40

Speaker A

if you thought that was challenging allow me to introduce Shar chillal from Pune India who secured the world record for the longest fingernails on a single hand measuring nearly 30 ft in total length his excessively long and heavy

14:02

Speaker A

Nails resulted in disfigurement and impaired function in his left hand adding to the complications he claims that the immense weight of his nails caused nerve damage ultimately leading to deafness in his left ear despite knowing the costs involved

14:23

Speaker A

if someone still wants to grow their nails then remember to clean your growing nails every day to get rid of the bacteria and fungus making a home there otherwise these germs can end up giving you food poisoning not only that

14:42

Speaker A

but after a while these pretty looking nails will stop growing straight and start to coil and twist once this happens everyday things like typing buttoning a shirt or shaking hands would turn into really heart challenges and in case you don't take

15:03

Speaker A

care of them after reaching a few feet they will become brittle and eventually break apart and all your hard work will go in vain so better to keep them trimming Tri your time did you know the medical name for the habit of biting

15:23

Speaker A

your nails is onop fasia yes it says estimated that 25 to 30% of children have the habit of nail biting hope we nailed it today until next time it's me Dr boox zooming [Music] out never mind good morning little kitty I hope

15:58

Speaker A

you didn't forget to brush your teeth today like almost every day kitty don't like brushing oh dear I understand your concerns Kitty but not brushing your teeth is a bad habit hey friends I know many of us might find brushing boring

16:18

Speaker A

and a waste of time but have you ever wondered what will happen if we stop brushing our teeth so in today's episode let us find the answer to this stinky winky question and explore the importance of brushing zoom

16:37

Speaker A

in teeth they help you to chew your food assist you while talking and in the time of selfies having those furly white teeth has become more important than ever before although we are lucky to be equipped with tools like toothbrush

16:56

Speaker A

paste and dental floss for clean cleaning our teeth but things weren't this easy during ancient times yes maintaining oral hygiene was a challenge long ago as people used various methods like brushing with a twig or a small piece of a tree branch wiping their

17:20

Speaker A

teeth with lemon juice or rubbing them with ground up chalk or charcoal or even ashes the stuff left over after a fire eventually somewhere around 1,000 years ago the Chinese came up with the idea of attaching stiff rough

17:42

Speaker A

bristles from the back of a big snck to a piece of bone or bamboo and invented the first toothbrush but it was only about 100 years ago that someone finally created a minty cream to clean teeth and not long

18:03

Speaker A

after that the toothpaste tube was invented so people could squeeze the paste right onto the toothbrush however despite all this the one question that popped up in everyone's mind was what if we don't brush our teeth you see our mouth is home for many

18:26

Speaker A

unwanted bacteria and once you eat eat something the bacteria in your mouth go crazy over the sugar on your teeth and break it down into acid that can damage the outer coating of your teeth called enamel and make holes called cavities or

18:45

Speaker A

tooth decay so brushing your teeth helps to eliminate those bacteria and clean the tooth decaying acid that causes cavities but if you stop brush brushing those sply whites the acid begins to accumulate and the bacteria takes this opportunity to spread their family in

19:08

Speaker A

millions and millions that form a clear and pale yellow sticky film on your teeth called pla this gooey layer of pla can lead to gum disease called gingivitis that can make your gums red Solen and sore or worst block can damage

19:31

Speaker A

your teeth so much that they can eventually fall off from your mouth making you feel shy and embarrassed during those selfie sessions with your friends so to avoid teeth issues and have a healthy set of shiny teeth be

19:49

Speaker A

sure to make brushing flossing and rinsing a part of your daily routine also do make regular appointments with your dentist and don't forget to smile trivia time did you know an average person spends 38.5 days brushing their teeth

20:13

Speaker A
