Topic Name: How to wash your hands properly


Hello everyone, before starting what I wanted, I want to ask you: How many of you in your childhood heard that you need to wash your hands? It seems to me that all of you have been heard about this at home, and at school, and even on television, we often hear about the importance of this action. Would it seem that it was just washing your hands? Why should I wash my hands every time after the restroom or after the street. Why should I wash my hands before eating? Many people ask themselves such questions mechanically before doing anything related to hygiene. Is it really that important to wash your hands? And what can the renunciation of hand hygiene (and not only) lead to?
According to UNICEF statistics, around 1 million 500 thousand children die every year from the “dirty hands disease”. Of these, 500 thousand die from diarrhea, the so-called "Disease of Unwashed Hands." Moreover, for 1m square see hands inhabited by 1500 microbes that can easily penetrate the human body. Among them there are bacteria that cause diseases such as cholera, diphtheria, pneumonia, hepatitis, influenza and the common cold, conjunctivitis, scabies and various fungal diseases. To protect against all these ailments, according to doctors, you just need to wash your hands. But how to wash them, even today, many do not know! According to the World Health Organization (WHO, English. World Health Organization, WHO) more than 68% of 150,000 people do not know how to wash their hands. (hand washing scheme). You need soap and, ideally, running water, but a bowl of water will do. Wet hands thoroughly and apply liquid or bar soap - if you apply soap to dry hands, it can act as an irritant and you don't get coverage all over your hands. Rub your palms together, then interlink your fingers and rub them together. Next, place the fingertips of one hand in the palm of the other and rub, and vice versa. Rubbing the hands together creates friction, which removes the bacteria and creates a lather. Within that lather is the bacteria you have removed, ready to be washed away. Once you have worked up a good lather and rubbed all the surfaces together, rinse your hands and dry thoroughly, not forgetting in between the fingers. If you are out and using a paper towel, don't lift the lid of the waste bin with your clean fingers. At home, change hand towels twice a week, or more often if someone has an infection such as Norovirus. In such an easy way, you can protect your health. What would this hand hygiene give me? And a lot of things. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Wash your hands. Thanks for attention!
