Clean Hands

I cannot stress enough, as to how important the hygiene of hands is related to your well being. Our environment is filled with bacteria that are also found on our bodies, especially our hands. It is the hands that we use to touch any object and it is the hands that are most susceptible to carrying the bacteria. The hands are also a means of transferring bacteria and virus from coming in contact with an infected person. People who eat their food with their bare hands should maintain even more hygiene when it comes to their hands. When we consume our food, the bacterium on our hands goes directly into the mouth. Thus, wash your hands thoroughly throughout the day, especially before and after a meal. After washing your hands, make sure they are clean and dry. The moisture on the skin can promote the development of bacterial and fungal infection.
