Wash your Hands
This is something you have probably heard
your whole life. Disease is easily
spread from touch, whether from person to person or object
to person. Giardia
is the number one germ that is transferred from touching
something infected.
Once you have Giardia, you can get very ill. In addition,
germs can be passed
from your pet that has been rolling on the grass, something
dropped on a dirty
floor, just allow your imagine to roam if you dare. Washing
your hands is a
quick, easy way to reduce the spread of germs.
Do Not Forget the Teeth
Often the care of teeth and gums is
overlooked as potential health risks.
However, with the oral cavity being the main way in which
parasites,
bacteria, yeast, and fungus get into the body, taking time
to thoroughly
brush and floss your teeth is important. Keeping your mouth
clean is a
great way to benefit your health.
Be Careful with the Sun
Everyone loves basking in the warm sun,
especially if it is lying on a
beautiful sandy beach. While the sun has many benefits, too
much sun
without proper protection can be harmful. Being sunburned
not only hurts,
but also damages skin and promotes wrinkles and cancer. If
you are going
to spend any time in the sun, even 10 minutes, protect your
skin with
sunscreen for both UVA and UVB rays.
Sunscreen
Most people know that sunscreen is important
for shoulders, backs, legs,
and arms when out in the sun but there are other parts of
the body that are
often overlooked. When enjoying the beautiful sun, be sure
to use
sunscreen on your ears, slips, and even the tops of your
feet as well!
Fragrance and Aging
If you want to do everything you can to age
gracefully, you should avoid
anything that has the perfumes or lotions of coconut oil and
orange. The
reason is that these fragrances contain a substance called
psoralen, which
is known to speed up the aging process.
Circulation and Lymph Glands
When you finish with your bath or shower,
you can actually help your body’s
circulation and improvement in which lymph glands drain, all
by the way that
you towel off your body. Very simply, when drying your arms
and legs as
well as torso, always towel away toward the groin for your
legs and toward
your armpits for the arms and torso. This might sound funny,
but studies
have shown this works.
