Beard is proved to have health benefits for men

News24xx.com - In a metropolitan era like today, not only women are concerned about their appearance, but now men also start to pay attention to their appearance like hairstyles, dress styles and even grow beards.

Lately, it's a trend of men growing thick beards, besides adding a masculine aura of growing beards can also increase their charisma. But behind all that, it turns out that having a beard can prevent you from bacteria.

Quoted from BBC, in a study published in The Journal of Hospital Infection involving 408 hospital staff showed that people who do not grow beards are 3 times more likely to be exposed to bacteria called Methicillin-Resistant Staph Aureus (MRSA).

Diseases that can be caused by these bacteria include infections of the skin, fatigue, headaches and even complications such as pneumonia and urinary tract infections.

Researchers estimated this can happen because people who do shaving or cutting beards will cause abrasion on the skin so that it triggers bacteria to spread and multiply itself.
