Is showering every day healthy?!

Bathing routines are a matter of fashion rather than health and your teacher is an idiot!. Of course one should be clean, but that does not require bathing of showering!.!.it is only in recent years, for instance, that small apartments in Paris have had more than a toilet, basin and bidet in them and many of the older houses all over France still do not have showers or baths in them but the french people do not suffer especially from hygiene problems or ill health!.Until the middle of the last century many people in England bathed once a week, the habit of showering or bathing daily is a recent one and I doubt that it is nearly as prevalent as your teacher would like to think!.
Not many decades ago it was widely believed that daily bathing was bad for you; that it left you prone to colds, influenza and skin problems as well as over stripping your hair of its natural oils ( actually it does overstrip your hair which is why we all need so much conditioner nowadays ) and there is absolutely no research to prove that people who keep themselves reasonably clean but do not bathe or shower daily are likely to suffer worse health or shorter lifespans than anyone else!.
