To protect your body against viruses, it is important to practice good hygiene habits. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating, after using the restroom, and after being in public places. Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol when soap and water are not available. Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth, as this can transfer viruses from your hands into your body. Practice social distancing by staying at least 6 feet away from others, especially in crowded places. Get vaccinated to protect against common viruses like influenza and COVID-19. Eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, get enough sleep, and manage stress to keep your immune system strong and better able to fight off viruses. By following these guidelines, you can help protect your body against viruses and stay healthy.
