Today we're going to discuss about how washing your hands properly is one of the most important things you can do to help prevent and control the spread of many illnesses. Good hand hygiene will reduce the risk of things like flu, food poisoning and healthcare associated infections being passed from person to person. Reasons why washing your hands is important:

How Germs Make People Sick

People, especially children frequently touch their eyes, mouth and nose without realizing it. Germs can travel from the hand and get into the body, which can make us sick. Feces from people and pets spread germs like Salmonella, E. coli and norovirus, which causes diarrhea and it can cause respiratory infections.

Cross Contamination of Food Can Make You Sick

Germs have no scrupulous. To prevent cross contamination in the kitchen, it’s vital to wash your hands frequently.When to Wash Your HandsHand washing should become second nature—and don’t do it only after you’ve used the bathroom or prepared a meal in the kitchen. You should wash your hands frequently because you never know when you’ve come into contact with germs.

NOTES

AND TIPS!!

Liquid soap is the best choice. Bar soap, especially if used by numerous people can itself become contaminated. The bar of soap tends to sit in a pool of water and germs can linger on the bar. Dried out bar soap can develop cracks that allow harmful germs and dirt to hide inside. Generally, people don’t like to use a bar of soap, so use liquid soap in your home to encourage hand washing.

Germs Can Transfer to Other Objects

Anything that you could touch may harm to your hands. Starts from the small thing and you won’t realize, it could transfer the germs to your hands, example toys, smart phones, laptops and handrails. That means that anyone who hasn’t washed their hands properly can potentially contaminate anything they touch.So frequently wash your hands but remember not only hands, but also disinfect or clean the goods and surfaces regularly to prevent the spread of infection.

When to Use Hand Sanitizer

Studies have found that hand sanitizers with an alcohol concentration between 60- and 90-percent are more effective. Non-alcohol based hand sanitizers not work as well. They only reduce the growth of germs, rather than killing them. One thing to keep in mind is that if you’re hands are greasy, hand sanitizers with 60% alcohol may not be enough. To get rid of the grease and germs, good old fashion soap and water are the best choice.

Well, that's it for today folks. We hope this information will help you to achieve a healthy life starts from our own hands. Remember, Be Aware, Wash with Care! Bye bye! See you on our next topic!
