Hand washing prevents sickness
Hand washing is one of the most important ways to prevent many common and not so common virus and bacterial infections. Always wash hands before eating and preparing food. Wash your hands often when frequenting public places, after touching public surfaces such as door handles, and after using the toilet. You also can help protect yourself by getting proper rest and sleep, eating a healthy diet, and exercising to boost immune system of your body.
