With more than 2 million confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States, people are more concerned about keeping their bodies healthy.
The best way to keep our bodies clean and healthy is by taking care of our hygiene. Lucky for you, taking care of your personal hygiene is quite easy if you follow a few simple steps.
Read on to learn about these personal hygiene tips.
1. Bathe or Shower Regularly
Everyday our body sweats, produces oil, and sheds skin. The best way to remove everything our body produces is by taking a regular bath or shower.
Some people sweat more than others, so if your body tends to sweat more, it’s important you take a bath every day. Not all people require daily showers, but they need to shower regularly.
Not only will showering regularly keep your body clean, but it will also keep you healthy.
2. Wash Your Hands
Since the spread of COVID-19 made the news worldwide, more and more people are aware of the need to wash their hands.
We already know we must wash our hands before we handle food, eat, and after using the bathroom. However, health professionals everywhere recommend you wash your hands for 20 seconds multiple times a day to slow the spread of COVID-19.
If you can’t wash your hands that often, you should always carry Covid-19 sanitizer.
3. Brush Your Teeth and Floss Regularly
Dental health is a lot more important than many people think. Failure to take care of your dental health can result in loss of teeth, painful infections, bad breath, and gum disease.
To keep your teeth and gums healthy, it’s important that you brush your teeth multiple times a day. As a great practice, you should brush your teeth after every meal to remove any food residue from your mouth. Food residue leads to the accumulation of bacteria in your mouth.
Flossing is also important to remove any food that gets caught between your teeth. By flossing every day, you will prevent cavities and gum disease.
4. Trim Your Nails
Personal hygiene also means taking care of your nails. Although it might seem irrelevant to keep your nails trimmed, it’s important for your overall personal hygiene.
If you don’t take care of your nails, you can have serious problems. Not shaping your nails can lead to hangnails or infected nail beds.
5. Wear Clean Clothes
Even if you shower regularly, you cannot put on dirty clothes. As we mentioned before, your body produces sweat and sheds skin, which sticks to your clothing.
Although you can wear some clothing items a few times, you should change your underwear and socks daily. In order to feel fresh and smell good, always wear clean clothes.
