Did you know 95% of people don't know how to wash their hands properly? 

According to Dr. Tania Dempsey MD of Armonk Integrative Medicine, "If everyone washed their hands with soap regularly, one million deaths could be prevented every year." 

Sounds so simple, yet seems 95% of people are doing it wrong.

October 15^th is National Hand Washing Day, and here's some more sobering thoughts about the spreading of germs, and hand washing:

- Studies have shown that diarrheal illnesses can be reduced by 50% just by frequent hand washing

-Respiratory illnesses can be reduced by close to 20% with hand washing

- It takes at least 15-20 seconds of vigorous hand washing with soap and water to remove enough of the harmful bacteria that spreads disease

And NO you don't need expensive, anti-bacterial soap to combat germs!

In the meantime though, with Halloween coming, it's important especially to remind your KIDS about washing their hands CORRECTLY! It only takes 7 days to make a new habit, but 2 weeks to break a bad one, so if you start now, by Halloween, they'll be pros, and getting sick a whole lot less this holiday season!
