Keeping your environment clean!

We often think that maintaining good health is solely associated with how we take care of our bodies. Yes, it is true that the better care you give yourself the healthier you will be. However you must remember that your environment can have a direct impact on your health. I am not only referring to the environment in terms of the outside world, but in terms of living your conditions. How clean is your living environment?


Did you know?

•Inhaling dust can cause various lung diseases, depending on the kind of dust you inhale.

•The flu virus can be spread easily in areas with poor ventilation or inadequate air circulation.

•Bacteria can cause carpet odors.

Next time your carpet smells you might want to do some effective cleaning. You might have unwelcome guests who have turned your house into their home!!






Below are a few tips on how to keep your room clean, and avoid getting sick.

1. Regularly take out your trash

2. Leave your windows open regularly to allow air circulation.

3. Vacuum your carpets frequently to avoid accumulation of dust and bacteria.

4. Disinfect your surfaces regularly to avoid the increase of bacteria.

Note: Toilet seats and other such surfaces are to be cleaned daily. Ensure that no surfaces in your room are damp as that will aid the growth of bacteria.

5. Change your linen regularly

There you have it! To maintain good health you must maintain the health of your surroundings!
