British scientist Primrose Freestone says that taking a shower in the morning is very helpful for staying healthy. Here’s why.
While we sleep, our bodies still work. One thing that happens is that we sweat. Sweat is mostly water and a little bit of salt. It doesn't have a smell by itself. But there are tiny germs living on our skin. These germs “eat” the sweat and produce something that has a bad smell. That's why even if you take a shower before bed, you might still wake up with a bit of body odor.
Another thing that happens during sleep is that we lose small pieces of dead skin. These skin bits fall off onto our bedsheets and pillows. They become food for very small creatures called dust mites. Dust mites are too small to see, but they can make our skin feel itchy, especially for people with allergies.
So, what can we do Taking a morning shower can help solve both problems! It washes away the sweat and the germs on your skin. It also cleans off those dead skin cells. This way, you start your day feeling fresh and clean. It can also help reduce itching and keep your skin healthier. Therefore, a morning shower is not just about feeling awake—it’s also a good healthy habit. Thanks to scientists like Primrose Freestone, we can understand more about how to take better care of our bodies every day.

THE INCREDIBLE DOLPHIN
A Many people say dolphins are intelligent.They seem to be able to think, understand, and
learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs Dolphins use their brains quite differently from the way people do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are alike in some ways.
Communication
Like humans, every dolphin has its own "name." The name is a special whistle.' Fach
dolphin chooses a whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people
in other ways, too. They "talk" to each other about a lot of things--such as their age, their feelings, and possible danger. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one "speaks dolphin" yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.
Play
Dolphins live in groups called pods, and they often join other dolphins from different
pods to play games and have fun- just like people. Sometimes they chase other dolphins
carrying objects and throw these objects back and forth. Scientists believe
playing together is something only intelligent animals do.
Teamwork
Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: They both make plans for getting
things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent
method to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal to the fishermen to put
their nets in thewater. With the dolphins' help, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins assist the men There is an advantage for the dolphins: They get to eat some of the fish that escape from the net.
