You might choose healthy food, exercise often, or get enough rest. But have you noticed that basic hygiene is something many people forget? These small habits are a key to lasting health.

At Fresh Ready we believe that good health is not just about food or rest. It is also caring for small daily habits that affect your body and mind. Today we want to remind you of three hygiene habits you should turn into routines to protect your whole health.

1. Wash your hands the right way First step in preventing illness

Washing hands might seem small but it is one of the most effective ways to stop unseen germs. Especially before eating and after using the toilet. Proper handwashing lowers risks of stomach problems and breathing infections.

How to wash your hands well

• Use soap to rub all over palms, back of hands, between fingers, under nails and around wrists for at least 20 seconds
• Rinse with clean water
• Dry with clean towel or disposable paper towel

Making handwashing a habit is an easy way for everyone to build protection for their health.

2. Change personal items regularly Small but very important

Everyday things like bed sheets, pillowcases, towels, and even your toothbrush can collect dust, bacteria, or dust mites if you don’t clean or replace them on time.

Tips for caring for personal items

• Bed sheets / pillowcases: change every one to two weeks
• Towels: change every week
• Toothbrush: change every three months or when bristles spread

These things seem small. But when you do them often you protect your skin, lungs, and avoid germs gathering over time.

3. Have a yearly health check up Check first so you are more prepared

Good health should not wait until you are unwell. A yearly check up is like checking in with yourself. It helps find risks early and plan to prevent them.

Health tests you should do regularly

• Blood pressure checks, blood sugar and cholesterol tests
• Blood test, urine test, chest x ray
• Gender specific checks like breast cancer, cervical cancer, or prostate cancer screening

Because knowing early is better than treating late. Preventive health is the heart of staying well for a long time.

Health Starts with the Basics

Basic hygiene might look like small stuff. But when you do it often it builds a solid foundation for your health. At Fresh Ready we want to help you take care of your whole self. Not just eating well or sleeping this much. But caring even for the small things many people forget.

Because good health begins with caring for what is close to you every day.
