Hygiene is at the core of well-being, and at Igiena, we believe in promoting a lifestyle that prioritizes cleanliness and health. In this blog, we’re sharing nine essential hygienic habits that will help you and your loved ones lead healthier, safer lives. These habits, when integrated into your daily routine, can make a significant difference in your overall health and happiness. During Navratri, it’s important to maintain good hygiene practices, especially if you’re observing fasting or participating in religious and social activities.
Here are nine hygienic habits to adapt during Navratri.
- Regular Hand Washing – Start with the basics. Proper handwashing with soap and water is your first line of defense against harmful germs. Make it a habit to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds before meals, after using the restroom, and when returning from public spaces.
- Hand Sanitizer on the Go –When water and soap are not readily available, always carry a quality hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content. It’s your portable hygiene station.
- Oral Hygiene – Maintaining oral health is essential. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss regularly, and consider using an antibacterial mouthwash for added protection.
- Regular Showering –Showering daily not only keeps you feeling fresh but also removes sweat and dirt that can harbor germs. Use a mild, hydrating soap to keep your skin healthy.
- Utensil and Dishware Cleanliness –Regularly clean and sanitize utensils, plates, and glassware you use during the fast. Avoid sharing these items with others.
- Clean and Disinfect Surfaces – Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, and your smartphone.
- Dispose off Waste Properly – Dispose off waste in a hygienic manner. Use proper bins and regularly empty them. This minimizes exposure to germs and pests.
- Change and Launder Regularly – Regularly change and launder your bed linens, towels, and personal clothing items. This reduces the risk of harboring bacteria and allergens.
- Cough and Sneeze Etiquette – Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow, not your hands, when you cough or sneeze. This prevents germs from spreading through your hands.
