You might think that looking clean is just something that adults worry about. But you should think about it too. Keeping yourself clean helps you stay free of harmful germs.
Whether you play, work, shop or visit a friend, your hands pick up germs all day. If the germs get into your food, or if you lick your fingers or bite your nails, it is easy to see how the germs can get inside your body. But you do not have to let this happen.
You can get rid of the germs you collect. After going to the toilet, wash your hands with soap and water-and don’t forget the backs of your hands. Wash your hands before meals so germs don’t get into your food-and inside you. Also wash your hands after sneezing and coughing, especially if you are sick.
The skin on other parts of your body picks up germs too. These germs may even cause an unpleasant smell. That is because they feed on the oil in sweat. Then they multiply and die-that’s where the bad smells comes from. So take a bath or wash the places where you sweat most.
Keeping clean not only makes you feel good, it also helps you to stay healthy.
