Topic: Washing Hands Properly

Washing your hands is one of the easiest and most important ways to stay healthy. Our hands touch many surfaces throughout the day and can pick up tiny germs that can make us sick. By washing them properly with soap and water, we can remove these harmful germs and prevent illnesses from spreading to ourselves and others. The process is simple but very effective. First, you wet your hands with clean, running water. Then, you apply soap and create a good lather. It is crucial to scrub all parts of your hands, including the palms, back of the hands, between the fingers, and under the nails, for at least 20 seconds. After scrubbing, rinse your hands well under clean, running water. Finally, dry your hands using a clean towel. This simple habit is a powerful tool in keeping our community healthy.
