Not taking your bath is extremely bad for your health, bacteria build up and deterioration of your overall health is expected.

You’re more likely to get sick or contract infections, if you’re not cleaning the dangerous microbes off of your body reasonably regularly.

Showering helps to keep your skin blemish-free, by preventing oils in the skin from building up, and this is particularly important if you regularly work out.

Maintaining cleanliness is also important for our self-confidence, physical and emotional well-being. The main purpose of washing is to remove dirt and odors and germs.

You May Get Sick: The body is filled with thousands of different types of bacteria and fungi. Some are good and necessary for some functions in your body while some are bad. 

If you stop showering this will give room for the bad bacteria to overcome the good ones, and they will find their way into your nose and mouth making you sick
