While vaccinations, rest, and a healthy diet are important for overall health, daily hand washing can have a significant effect. <strong>December 1-7 is National Handwashing Awareness Week.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is handwashing effective?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold and flu germs transmit via contact. Shaking hands, touching doorknobs, or handling shared items may spread hazardous germs and viruses to your face, where they enter via your mouth, nose, or eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Handwashing removes germs before they cause sickness. Continuous handwashing decreases respiratory infections by 20%, according to research. That&#8217;s remarkable for a simple habit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here is the right way to do it.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use soap and water to remove any germs by scrubbing for 20 seconds (sing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d twice).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus on details\u2014wash between fingers, beneath nails, and on backs of hands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wet hands transmit germs, so dry them thoroughly with a clean towel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When to wash hands? Important times:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You should always wash your hands before eating or cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After public contact (like on the subway).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When soap and water are unavailable, hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol works well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This winter, prioritize handwashing and urge your family to do so. This simple routine will greatly lower your risk of colds and flu, keeping you healthier and happier over the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay warm, clean, and healthy!<\/h2>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A handwashing routine will greatly lower your risk of colds and flu, keeping you healthier and happier over the
