The third tip is allow yourself to eat the special once a year treats occasionally! Figure out how you can control your around the clock craving by limiting it to occasionally.

Hands Sanitizer: Does it really protect you?

Hand Sanitizer, it's in every class room, but does it really do the job?

Yes, studies show if you use hand sanitizer the correct way it will work against the germs!

This website says that hand sanitizers are effective against both bacteria and viruses but you must cover your entire hands and let it dry first!

Although hand sanitizers are an easy way to fight viruses, studies show washing your hands is still more affective.

Why's that?

Washing your hands is more affective because you are physically scrubbing the germs away instead of letting the hand sanitizer deactivate the germs. Remember to scrub for 20 seconds!

Carrying hand sanitizer will keep your family healthy, but just remember everything you touch has germs so be careful and stay healthy!
