Preventing Your Body From Becoming Sick
|
You can help prevent your body from becoming sick by washing your hands
often. You should always wash your hands before eating or preparing
food to make sure you do not transfer any pathogens, or germs, onto the
food you eat. Also, you should always wash your hands after coming
in contact with someone you know is sick. By touching any opening on your
body, say your eyes, mouth, or an open sore, you can pass those pathogens
on to yourself.
You can also prevent your body from becoming sick by taking care of it. You should get enough sleep every night, which is 8-10 hours for school aged kids. You should also eat right by following the food guide pyramid. Another way to take care of your body is to exercise regularly. Staying away from drugs is a must as well. |
