Since we are children, we are educated and encouraged to take proper care of our hygiene. This will determine our personality and way of being in the company of other people. Didn’t the same happen to you? Didn’t your parents tell you that you have to wash your hands before you go to the table or brush your teeth at the end of meals, among other examples of such hygiene? We believe so because that is what most parents teach their children. And they do it very well! However, there are also hygiene procedures that we end up learning to do wrong throughout life – and, in most situations, without realizing it. What are the things you do wrong about your hygiene? That’s what we’re going to tell you below by letting you know the seven incredible hygiene things we learned to do wrong in life and how you can fix them. These are simple and extraordinary tips that will help improve your hygiene.
1. Wash Your Hands in Hot Water
Many people say that hot water is more effective in fighting germs and eliminating bacteria from the hands. And that is correct if temperatures are approximately 100 degrees Celsius. However, as you cannot withstand these high temperatures, the effect is the same whether you wash your hands with hot water or cold water. It should also be noted that you need to rub them with liquid soap for about 20 seconds for your hands to be well washed. And always be careful to wash under the nails, which is where most of the dirt is found.
2. What Your Toothbrush Says About You!
It is important to know how to floss your teeth to get rid of all the leftover food lodged in your teeth. In the same way, you should wash your toothbrush after each use; otherwise, thousands of bacteria can put your oral health in danger. That way, and so that it doesn’t happen to you, it is essential that you change your toothbrush every three months and place the one you are using inside a container with antiseptic every week. In general, flossing teeth is one of the most important oral health habits, and so is keeping a toothbrush impeccable and optimal conditions of use. Extra Tip: Forget the use of toothbrush lids because they are usually the perfect compartment for the development of thousands of bacteria harmful to human health.
