➍Wash your hands!
The three crucial components to a good
hand washing are warm water, soap, and
friction. These decrease your likelihood
of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth
or other people. Wet your hands with
warm water, lather well by rubbing
hands together (be sure to cover all
surfaces and in-between ngers) while
you sing the ABCs (in your head if need
be) so that you can time how long you
need to scrub. Rinse thoroughly and
dry well. A cloth hand towel is the eco-
friendly choice, but since we’re going
for health-friendly at holiday parties,
recycled paper towels will do the trick
(unless you have lots of cloth napkins).
Wash your hands before eating, before
AND after going to the bathroom, after
coughing, sneezing, or blowing your
nose, before preparing food and after
handling any raw meat/poultry/egg, and
certainly a good wash is called for as
soon as you come home.
➎Be anti-anti-bacterial.
Many sicknesses are viral, not bacterial,
so plain, old soap and water will get
you just as clean as any anti-bacterial
product. Our culture is germ obsessed
and this has encouraged a ood of
products on store shelves with anti-
bacterial or anti-microbial claims.
Always have a safe and effective hand
sanitizer on hand (pun intended) for
when you cannot wash your hands
properly (options include Quash, Clean
George or Cleanwell).
➏Take cover.
Stay home when you are sick. It’s the
right thing to do for everyone, including
you, because when your immunity is
low you can pick up other germs more
easily. Steep some tea, add a little
manuka honey and get some rest. Don’t
let stress undermine a quick recovery
and try and enjoy your forced time out.
It can be disappointing, but your guests
will be much more upset if they catch
something and have to spend the rest of
their holidays in bed.
➐Take cover some more.
Cover your mouth when you sneeze
(with your arm, not your hand), and
avoid anyone who doesn’t (remind your
kids!).
➑Drink and be merry.
Stay hydrated, but stay away from
bottled water. Toast the holidays with an
offering from the taps of Toronto – it’ll
keep you and our world healthier.
Here’s to sharing great times with your
riends, colleagues and amilies…
without sharing your germs. Happy
holidays!
