Keep Germs At Bay
January 28, 2009
With the growing pollution, smoke and degradation of nature around us, not to mention the problem of non-biodegradable elements rising in our society, it is a matter of grave concern for the health-conscious male to figure out solutions to stay fit, happy and healthy.
Even though most bacteria are friendly, by virtue of the fact that they help us keep our ecosystem alive by recycling essential nutrients and also aid in digesting food daily besides being used in creating life-saving medicines, scientists say that we mustn’t make the mistake of categorizing them with some viruses that can be dangerous and even fatal for mankind.
Yes, even getting yourself that bionic face-mask or pure-air AC is no guarantee that you won’t be confronted with the threat of germs elsewhere, so its smart to read up and prepare yourself with the knowledge of some common germ-ridden spots around you that require more than just the regular water and soap treatment from you!
One of the best ways to prevent germs from invading your person is to use warm-hot water to wash your hands after touching public surfaces and avoid touching your face as long as you can.
The Mayo Clinic in America also recommends not riding the rails in public places like subway poles and library banisters, as tempting as it may be for men who are still boys at heart – due to the high volume of commuters that pass through these places typically, these are bound to be a top source for germ transmission.
Also hand-rails in buses, table-tops at bank counters and take-away joints like your favourite Chinese restaurant or Burger Joint are prime spots for diseases that can be spread with contact with sweat, hair and bodily secretions like people sneezing or coughing there or simply lesser stringent hygiene standards than yours.
So, take care to carry a good, pair of leather gloves during winters if you cannot avoid contact with such public spots and cotton gloves during summers to keep germs at bay; at the gym too, wash your hands with an anti-bacterial soap after using shared equipment and carry a handy no-water bacterial rinse for other times when you can’t always wear city-mitts or wash up
