Ahh, another new year, a time that makes us think of our old and new healthy habits…
Washing your hands can save you from infections and from weeks of misery. I wash my hands when out in public. It seems to work well. If you don’t already have a hygiene regime, consider washing your hands after arriving home, after riding the subway, and even before eating at a restaurant.
But don’t take it too far, your hands can dry out with too much washing.
The Atlanta based, Center for Disease Control takes it seriously enough, to list explicit tips on keeping your hands washed during the flu season. It’s kind of ridiculously detailed, but worth mentioning since its the most effective way to avoid rhinovirus infections.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – Clean hands save lives — the best minds wash up before supper!
