Importance of Washing Hands and Maintaining Personal Hygiene - Global Handwashing Day...and with a little liberty, Global Personal Hygiene Day, October 15th.
Most of us grew up as children notorious for landing our hands straight on food on table after a long session of playing outdoors. The missing key word here is "without washing hands properly". Quite a few of you would have grown up while a few of us are merely overgrown kids. The only difference being that back then we irked mom and now we irk both mom and wife.
We may laugh about it, but we all know that it is no laughing matter. Personal hygiene is critical to well being, there is nothing macho or cool about not maintaining.
Do you like surprises? Ya, love them. Well, poor personal hygiene leads to poor health is hardly surprising. Trust me you will hate it.
Doctors too stress on the importance of maintaining personal hygiene, for children and adults alike. There is no expiry date to it.
How to maintain personal hygiene:
- Washing hands and feet regularly, especially when one steps in from outdoors.
- Washing hair regularly and taking a bath at least twice everyday.
- Grooming facial hair.
- Brushing teeth at least twice a day.
- Washing clothes and wearing clean clothes.
- Maintaining clean surroundings
Did I hear boring? Do you know what is boring....staring at the ceiling from your hospital bed.
Another unnoticed aspect of personal hygiene is people's enthusiasm to use chemical laden products for personal hygiene,...soaps, shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste, facewash, mouthwash, perfumes/deodorants et al. We are all aware of the devastating side effects of using excessive chemicals on our skin, hair and mouth. All these are sensitive to abuse and the aftermath can be unforgiving, especially when young children are exposed to it from an early age.
You are strongly advised to use products that are 100% Natural. A lot of science goes into identifying the right ingredients and the most appropriate solution. Mother Nature is a giver, we should take wisely. Our grandparents always seem to have a natural hack for all problems. They understood Mother Nature better than anyone else. We also have the luxury of our Ayurvedic chronicles, our ancient wisdom.
We at One Zero Eight Earth are dedicated to this science. We work hard to identify the right ingredients for our products and double up the science in getting the right formulation such that we harness the goodness of Mother Nature to come up with a product that is just right. A lot of competing Natural Brands take the road most traveled and use similar common ingredients, we go deeper into the breaches of Mother Nature to pick gems that make Her smile. We have Her blessings and confidence that we will also have your grandmother's.
The reason why I gave up my corporate finance career and started up with One Zero Eight Earth is because of a very personal experience. When my son was born, a friend gifted us with a hamper from this very leading brand. We used the Baby Massage Oil and immediately my son's skin broke into rashes. As an anxious parent, I dabbed some of it on my skin and to my horror, even my skin wasn't spared. After a lot of research I realised that the Baby Massage Oil was just a concoction of harmful chemicals. That thought stayed with me and kept egging me to do something that would make a difference. Years later, One Zero Eight Earth was born and we introduced our first offering...Baby Massage Oil. As I said, we are making Mother Nature proud, almost all our reviews have been Five Star. We haven't made a children cry and we haven't broken hearts. Buoyed by its success, we launched our Head To Toe Body Cleanser a few month ago. We are proud when we say that we have made growing children fall in love with it.
Are you good at keeping secrets? Ya? Let me tell you a lot of parents have used our Baby Massage Oil on themselves...mothers we happy as it pampered her post-partem skin, Fathers used it as hair oil as well as for personal massage. They kept coming back to buy more and we ran out of stock.
Parents are using our Head To Toe Body Cleanser for their bath routine and are liking it as much as their kids do.
Told you, we are even making grandmothers proud.
To conclude, personal hygiene is critical and what you use for your daily routine is even more so. Go out there, face the elements, grow healthier, gain more friends and get back home fitter and stronger. Throw caution to the winds...we have your back and your mother's approval.
