Washing 10 times a day can help prevent respiratory problems:

Washing your hands more than 10 times a day and wearing masks and gloves can help prevent the spread of flu and other respiratory diseases, according to a new study published on the website of the British Medical Journal.

Li Fang, director of the respiratory department of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that in our daily life, our hands are the most direct transmission media of pathogenic microorganisms.

There are about 10 to the eighth bacteria on a person's hand. If these bacteria touch contaminated food by hand, they will bring pathogenic microorganisms into the mouth, where they will "settle" in the respiratory tract, and when the body's resistance drops, they will enter the body and cause respiratory diseases such as flu.

Wash your hands after wiping your nose to prevent cross-infection:

Nanjing integrated Chinese and Western medicine hospital ear nose and throat director Yang Ming said, rhinitis people wipe their noses to wash their hands, this common sense listen to more, but really do not have a few people.

Most people think that if you use toilet paper to wipe your nose, you don't have to wash your hands. In fact, there's a lot of bacterial residue on your hands.

Refuse hand contact if you have people with rhinitis who don't wash their hands after wiping their nose.

Prevention of Stomach Infection:

Nanjing integrated Chinese and Western medicine hospital spleen and stomach disease director Chen Yuqian reminded, gastritis pathogenic bacteria - helicobacter pylori, is a highly infectious bacteria.

Prevention of pinkeye:

Xia Chengzhi, director of the ophthalmology department of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said pinkeye is mainly transmitted through contact. Pinkeye patients often rub their eyes with their hands because of eye discomfort, and their hands are easily contaminated by eye secretions at this time.

Wash your hands immediately if you come into contact with someone who has pinkeye.

Do not rub your eyes casually in daily life, develop the habit of not rubbing your eyes with dirty hands and washing your hands frequently is an effective way to avoid infection.

To make one more confident:

You're all familiar with choice phobia. Well, it's a condition called "cognitive dissonance," which is actually "post-decision discomfort."

In a study by psychologists at the University of Michigan, Spike and Norbert found that hand washing can help eliminate hesitation and help people accept and become comfortable with the choices they have made.

Because by washing their hands, people no longer feel the need to justify their decisions, which can make them more confident.

Tip: "one hand rub, two hands back, three fingers rub, four finger back twist, five turn big bend, six knead the fingertips, seven wrist."

But be warned: Wash hands with running water for at least 30 seconds, and use hand sanitizer, etc.
