The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed people’s behaviors and routines, whether that means working from home or limiting contact. And while some of these behaviors are necessary only during a pandemic, there are several positive habits you can continue to help protect your health.
1. Frequent Handwashing
One of the positives to come out of the pandemic is greater recognition of how microbes and diseases spread. The CDC’s focus on handwashing to reduce transmission rates helped people understand the importance of regularly washing their hands throughout the day, not only after using the bathroom.
One study suggests that, on average, people touch their face up to 23 times per hour. Failing to wash your hands frequently exposes you to potentially harmful bacteria and viruses.
To maintain good health, wash your hands frequently throughout the day, including when you arrive home from work or school and before you eat. If you don’t have access to soap and water, carry a small bottle of 60% alcohol hand sanitizer.
2. Take Immune-Boosting Supplements
Supporting your immune system is crucial for your overall health. Many people don’t get enough quality nutrients from their food, lowering the body’s immune response. A potent antioxidant supplement is ideal for giving your immune system the boost it needs to fight disease.
Vitality C60 olive oil is a powerful antioxidant that can neutralize and eliminate free radicals responsible for causing inflammation and illness. The C60 fullerene is suspended in high-quality olive oil, which also contains essential immune-boosting nutrients, including tocopherols, β-carotene, lutein, squalene, and polyphenols.
3. Sanitize Your Home’s Surfaces
Keeping your home clean is an excellent way to minimize exposure to microorganisms. However, many surfaces around your home are overlooked during your cleaning routine that can be a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses.
Frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs, cabinet drawer handles, light switches, remote controls, and computer keyboards should be sanitized regularly.
Use a peroxide or dilute bleach solution to wash suitable hard surfaces. For sensitive equipment like electronics, use an alcohol-based spray or disinfectant wipes.
