Lesson One - Risk Factors

In addition to improving body odour and greasy skin, good hygiene can improve health. The world was reminded of this in 2020 as the novel Coronavirus 19 spread across the world, and frequent hand-washing and sanitizing became commonplace. Other hygiene steps to prevent illness are:

• Brushing your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes at a time.
• Showering with soap at least every second day and shampooing your hair and scalp at least twice a week to prevent irritating buildup.
• Trimming your nails and keeping them clean with a nail brush and washcloth.
• Wiping from front to back after using the toilet.
• Sneezing or coughing into your elbow, sanitizing shared surfaces, and immediately throwing away used tissues and washing your hands.
