Wash your hands, EARLY STEP HEALTHY LIVING

Believe it or not, but wash your hands in the middle of a conversation around the world, even the world campaigning to become a culture that we call culture of handwashing. Actually, Indonesia has long been promoting hand washing was proved when we were in elementary school we used to be taught by the teacher how to wash hands properly, but it must be admitted, in recent years, hand washing has been taught in schools now disappeared. Admittedly still a lot of people who are lazy to wash hands, especially in those with low education and low concern.

When do we have to wash your hands? Wash hands not only before and after meals and before bed. Wash hands it should be done as often as possible after we touched foreign objects or outside our place, or it could be after we hold an object which we doubt it clean.

Remember, holding an object that we do not know it clean, it means that we have moved millions of germs that are not known to us from the hand into the mouth. Furthermore, these germs will then go into the mouth and breed in our bodies.

Why are we lazy hand washing? Our laziness hand washing is due to our ignorance of what the worst possible thing that could happen to us. Moreover, the habit of eating snacks and meals at places slob makes us forget to wash your hands.

Let us imagine something like this; We're going to ride the train station every day, suddenly the person next to you sneeze, sneeze with to wrap his hand to his nose and mouth. Hand former sneezes close them and then put back on the handle of the wagon seat. When the men left, accidentally our hands, we put in place the person's hand. That's when the chair to transfer germs from our hands. Once off the train, we bought breakfast and holding fried by hand earlier. That's when the transfer of germs from hands to our mouths, and within six hours later, we will join sneezing like men.

Then how, what should we do next? It's easy, try to wash your hands frequently, from habit and make culture. That way hopefully we avoid infection.
