How to wash your Vegetables and Fruits?

Farmers use a lot of pesticides to protect the produce from pests and other fertilizers and chemicals to enhance the produce. Unfortunately, they are not washed thoroughly and make way to our kitchens. Many of us do not pay much attention to wash the vegetables and fruits we buy. Most of us usually just wash it with tap water and assume it’s clean, but that’s not the case. Here’s the thing, water and friction work GREAT for removing many pesticide residues, dirt, and some bacteria from fruits and vegetables and is an appropriate cleaning method for produce that will be cooked. But, rinsing with water won’t remove all harmful bacteria, especially on delicate produce like leafy greens or berries which won’t hold up to scrubbing and it doesn’t take much harmful bacteria to make you sick. Thus, taking a little extra time to use an effective fruit and vegetable wash can indeed make a big difference. But there are few basic ways by which you can reduce the effect of all these harmful bacteria and hazardous pesticides, like, Salt water, one can boil water and simply add couple spoon of salt to and dip those vegetables and fruits in it for few minutes and then rewash it with normal water, salt basically open small pores of the veggies and fruits so that the dirt in between those pore and be taken out by the hot water.

Essentials & Importance of good hand hygiene

In our daily life we take washing our hands for granted.  We must understand the importance of washing our hands with soap which is an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases. Like most things, good hand hygiene begins at home, and good habits begin in childhood. Children are naturally curious and exploring things by touch can cause their hands to become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Indeed, recent research from Initial hygiene found that even when children had a low swab count (under 500) on their hands, they still had 47% more germs and bacteria than adults. However, washing hands regularly can improve hand hygiene levels by up to 79% for children, and 89% for adults. Unwashed hands can transfer germs onto other objects, unknowingly like handkerchief, table tops, or toys, and from there they are being transferred to another person’s hands. Effective hand hygiene is important as it removes microbes, such as bacteria and viruses from your hands. The fewer microbes are on your hands, the fewer the chances of becoming sick and passing on those germs to others around you. Some facts about germs might make you think how important it is to wash your hands: One germ can multiply into more than 8 million germs in one day. Nearly 80 percent of illness-causing germs are spread by your hands. Your remote control is a top carrier of bacteria. There are more germs on your phone, keyboard and cutting board than on a toilet seat. One in five people don’t wash their hands, and of those that do, only 30 percent use soap. When you flush the toilet, germs can spray up to 6 feet. Now that you’ve been effectively grossed out by the facts, you’ll need to know how to kill some of those germs that live on your hands to keep you and others safe from illness.  The world is battling with Covid-19 currently. We are in the midst of a pandemic and we can’t emphasize enough how important washing your hand is. Washing your hand is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of the virus and avoid getting others sick. It is especially important to wash your hands frequently with soap and water while scrubbing the palms, back of hands, in-between fingers and underneath the fingernails. Be sure to lather for at least 20 seconds or more and dry your hands with a clean towel or air dry them. Corona virus is contagious and thus to prevent its spread from one person to another, everyone should prioritize washing their hands and should use only trustworthy products such as Pearldew Hand wash by Ikon Remedies, available in 7 different flavors.

Vitamin D Deficiency: What does Vitamin D do and what are the benefits of taking Vitamin D Supplements?

Vitamin D is produced in the body when you expose your body to the sunlight. Some food items and supplements also contain Vitamin D but sunlight is the only major source of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining the health of teeth and bones. It also safeguards your body from cancer, diabetes, sclerosis and other types of deadly diseases. Let us look at some vital functions that Vitamin D performs in our body: Vitamin D helps us to maintain the health of our nervous system and brain Vitamin D is vital for maintaining the immune system of our body It assists multiple bodily functions and improves cardiovascular health It reduces the risk of deadly diseases like cancer Vitamin D is essential for maintaining the strength of our teeth and bones Vitamin D is not naturally produced in our body and therefore we must ensure that we consume it through food. Sun is the primary source of Vitamin D since our body synthesizes sunlight to create Vitamin D in surplus amounts. Therefore, health experts and doctors advise us to bask in the sunlight for at least 10-12 minutes early in the morning. The afternoon sun might contain harmful radiations and therefore the early morning time from 8 to 9 is considered to be the best for receiving sunlight. If you are not able to enjoy the sunlight or if your diet is deficient in Vitamin D then you can take it from the Vitamin D supplements. Many safe and potent Vitamin D supplements are available in the market and these supplements have a positive effect on our health. Now let us study the health benefits of Vitamin D supplements: Prevents cold and flu If you take proper sunlight during the winter then the chances of getting attacked by flu and cold virus get reduced by a great extent.
