A living tip to prevent infection
In our lives, infection is everywhere, but through simple, practical tips on life we can significantly reduce the risk of infection and protect the health of ourselves and their families.
Maintaining good personal hygiene is the primary defence against infection. It is essential to wash hands in a manner that is not less than 20 seconds for each hand-washing, in which the hands, backs, fingers and nails are not spared. This is a practice that permeates daily life, such as after contact with public goods, before eating, after taking a dump. In the absence of mobile water, the alcohol-containing handwashing is a good alternative. When coughing or sneezing, cover your nose and mouth with a paper towel or elbow to prevent the spread of foam, and immediately throw used paper towels into the trash can and then wash your hands. In addition, daily baths effectively remove stains and bacteria from skin surfaces and keep their skin clean. At the same time, care must be taken to maintain oral hygiene, brushing teeth early and late, cleaning mouths after meals and reducing the growth of bacteria in the mouth.
Dietary hygiene should not be overlooked. Vegetables and fruits are thoroughly washed and pesticides, bacteria and parasites that may remain on the surface are removed. Vegetables and fruits can be immersed in saline water for some time and washed with liquid water, which will be cleaner. Foods such as meat, eggs, etc. must be cooked so as to effectively kill pathogens such as salmonella and coliform. The raw water may contain a large amount of bacteria, so it is safe to avoid drinking, either when burned or when qualified bottled water. In the handling of food, the kitchen should be kept clean and raw food treated separately to avoid cross-contamination.
It is important to keep the living environment clean. The rooms are regularly cleaned and the dust on the furniture surface is wiped, as it is often the hideout of the fungi. Frequent ventilation is used to allow fresh air to enter the room and to reduce the concentration of pathogens. These frequently exposed items, such as door handles, mobile phones and remote controls, should preferably be regularly wiped with disinfectant towels. Home carpets, curtains, etc., are also subject to regular cleaning. At the same time, care must be taken to keep the toilets dry and clean, often using disinfectant to clean toilets, wash the pots, etc.
In public places, the touch of public facilities is minimized and, if necessary, the area and time of exposure is controlled. During the high-prevalence season of infectious diseases such as influenza, people-intensive, air-discretioned sites, such as malls, cinemas, etc., can or cannot go. If travel is necessary, wearing a mask can significantly reduce the likelihood of infection. When travelling on public transport, seats and arms can be wiped with disinfection towels.
Regular living practices and appropriate sports are essential to increase immunity and prevent infection. Adequate sleep is guaranteed daily to allow enough time for body recovery and repair. Appropriate physical exercise, such as walking, running and yoga, enhances physical resistance and makes the body more resilient to pathogen attacks. At the same time, care must be taken to maintain a good mindset, to exert pressure beyond the General Assembly ‘ s influence on immunity and to relieve it through meditation, deep breath, etc.
It is also crucial to avoid close contact with the sick. If a family member suffers from an infection, it is advisable to leave the family alone in a well-ventilated room. When taking care of a patient, protection is provided, such as wearing a mask and washing hands in time for contact with the patient. In addition, access to vulnerable sites, such as hospitals, is to be avoided as much as possible and, if necessary, protective measures are to be taken.
Through these finely nuanced biopsies, we can effectively prevent infection in our daily lives and create a healthier living environment for ourselves and their families.
