What your handwashing can do

Philippines is currently under the immense power of super typhoon Juan. Isabela and Cagayan took the ravage of Megi, the international name of Juan.

Trees got no strength to stand still - they've been uprooted. Roads were closed by trunks and huge chunks of land. Residents from these regions were rushed on immediate evacuation center. The local officials were busy accommodating all the typhoon victims.

During the Bagyong Ondoy, I personally had the chance to contemplate with the word 'survival'. Honestly, no matter how clean you are with your body, and no matter how much you pay attention to it, during these times, it could be the least you would think of.

But we can't set aside hygiene. Last October 15 is the Global Handwashing Day, which promotes proper hygiene. To those who are affected by super typhoon Juan, even if you are just at your home or in the evacuation area, it is very important that we regularly check our hygiene - and maintain cleanliness.

Health is a very delicate thing to maintain, but most of the time it is the most set aside from all of our thing-to-check or routines-to-maintain. By simply being vigilant about our health help to reduce the risk of acquiring viral infections and other unlikeable diseases.

May be, your regular hand washing is the solution to a better health.
