STAYING HEALTHY
Tips for staying healthy, staying healthy with nutrition, staying healthy with the seasons
The children tend to bring germs to the house and it is better to make
them keep them to themselves.
The children tend to fall ill since they move around in the dirty play
grounds and drink outside the house with friends and touch certain things
which grab attention. They spread the bacteria and virus and the mother
tends to fall ill quickly as she is the only person who is close to the
kid when they are sick, So brilliant germ combating game plans have to
be made, to escape from diseases.
The main thing to do to reduce the risk is washing hands regularly. It
is better to wash the hands for at least 20 seconds with hand sanitizer
which kills the germs which even soap can not kill. It is safe to keep
a small bottle of sanitizer in the bag and use now and then. The child
should not be allowed to place in the kitchen when he is sniffing since
it is the germiest area in the home. Bacteria survives on tables and counter
tops and fridge handles .Bacteria breeds easily on the handle of the fridge
since many have the habit of hanging the dish towel on it.
When the kid is sick hot water should be used to wash clothes since it
kills germs. Washing with hot water with chlorine bleach kills germs.
Since washing child’s shirt is equal to managing germy stuff touching
mouth and nose should be avoided.
It is better to maintain a distance with the sick child. Avoiding hugging
and kissing really helps spreading of disease.
The child’s accessories like towels, toys and even tooth paste should
be kept separate.
Cleaning should be done with cleaner with registration number of EPA and
label with the word mentioning disinfectanton. It contains big cannons
of germ combating like bleach or ammonia and they have met the government’s
principles for effectiveness. Scrub the objects like remote control, toilet
handle, phone and doorknobs with the disinfectanton.
The child’s toys can be cleaned with white vinegar or peroxide and washed
with hot water and soap when he feels better.
Bacteria and Viruses are found everywhere but they are mostly found on
places where parents touch often.
It was found that 55% of the Grocery car handles were contaminated. So
it is better to carry handy sanitizer while going for shopping and utilize
it after finishing shopping.
Play ground equipments usually have urine, feces and sometimes blood on
them so they should be washed when playtime is over.
The kitchen area is the place where most of the bacteria breed. While
rinsing raw vegetables and fruits, Salmonella and coli may accumulate
in the sink so cleaning the sink at least two times a week with bleach
is important.
