*HAND & FOOD HYGIENE: THE STARTING POINT TO HEALTHY LIVING.*
You may not see germs, but then they’re everywhere.
Germs hide on your hands, under your nails, and even on your food.
One careless bite with unwashed hands or undercooked meat and not properly cooked vegetable could send you or someone you love to the hospital.
It all begins with personal hygiene...hygiene resting on your hands and food.
That’s why hand and food hygiene isn’t just good practice.
It’s protection.
It's healthy living!
Let's begin with hand hygiene.
This is your first line of defense, in case you don't know!
Think of your hands as a gateway.
They touch your face, your food, your loved ones.
Washing them properly with soap and water, especially before eating, after using the toilet, or touching shared surfaces, can break the chain of infection and stop harmful germs in their tracks.
Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Preferably, you should wash under a running tap water in a sink.
If a sink is not available, you should use a hand sanitizer to clean your hands regularly.
FOOD HYGIENE
What goes into your body matters.
We are what we eat!
You know that, right?
Don't add germs or diseases into your meals...as you eat.
Clean hands are important, but so is clean food.
This simply means, before you eat;
1. Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
2. Cook meat thoroughly
3. Keep raw and cooked foods separate
4. Store leftovers safely.
Neglecting the food hygiene tips can open doors to serious illnesses caused by bacteria including: Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria.
Clean Hands + Food Hygiene = A Powerful Combo.
Even the safest meal can become dangerous when handled with dirty hands.
That’s why these two habits must go hand in hand, especially in homes, schools, restaurants, and food businesses.
It's about more than just you!
Good hygiene protects everyone including your children, elderly parents, coworkers, customers, staff and especially those with suppressed immune systems (immunocompromised and immunosuppressed).
It's not just about being clean, it's about being caring, responsible, and smart.
Wash your hands.
Prepare food safely.
Protect yourself.
Protect others.
Because when it comes to hygiene, every clean and hygienic motive counts.
