...... we bathe.

Seriously, sanitation is a huge part of it. It's hard for us, not living in the 16th century, to understand just not bathing for weeks. If one understands what has to happen back then to take a bath (no hot running water in the house, y'know) one gets why it's that way.... but then add to that a complete lack of knowledge of germs or what caused disease.
