4 Facts about germs in your home

Facts about germs

Germs are in your home right now.

Certain bacteria in the correct environment can divide every 20 minutes, spreading rapidly. Use FungiSolve to eliminate the spread and reoccurrence of bacteria and germs. 

Germs can make you sick.

Your immune system protects you against most micro-organisms. However, there are tons of different kinds of germs, and some of them, especially viruses, are good at mutating into things your body doesn't recognise.

It's easy to keep things clean.

With FungiSolve and FungiSolve for Pets stuff it takes minutes to disinfect your home.

Top areas to disinfect in your home:

1. Kitchen

Dish towels and sponges are especially problematic, because they hold moisture and we tend to use them for multiple tasks. The kitchen sink is a no-brainer and gets a lot of attention, but the faucet hardware gets just as dirty after you handle raw food or dirty dishes and then turn the water on and off. Other areas include the refrigerator door handle and cabinet knobs.

2. Handles and switches

This one seems obvious, but how often do you walk around your home and wipe off doorknobs, cabinet handles, and light switches? Once a week, give them a once-over using disinfecting wipes with FungiSolve.

3. Make up bag

Makeup applicators have nooks, crannies, and bristles that are prime real estate for micro organisms. And the germs that live there can lead to skin and eye infections. Regular soap and water is fine for cleaning most applicators, but you can use FungiSolve on the brushes just follow the instructions carefully and make sure you rinse before use.

4. Laundry 

Wet laundry left unattended in a machine, even for a short amount of time, is a hot spot for germs. Transfer clean clothes to the dryer immediately after they are done washing. If they do sit for more than 30 minutes, run them through the cycle again with FungiSolve to eliminate bacteria and odours.

If you use a laundry mat or a shared laundry facility, clean the washer drum with a disinfecting wipe soaked in FungiSolve. And be sure to disinfect with FungiSolve any surfaces you use to fold clothes.

By following these easy tips your home will be germ free. FungiSolve keeping your family safe from germs!

Tips on how to train longer for Comrades

What is DOMS?

It is the result of damage to the muscle cells during intense exercise.

This causes inflammation, swelling and tenderness as the muscles repair themselves.

How to prevent DOMS?

In order to reduce muscle soreness after a workout, it is necessary to do a proper warm up before exercising. This wakes up the muscles and prepares them for physical activity. It is also important to avoid pushing yourself past your physical limit and to build up your workouts gradually instead (hope you already been doing this Comrade’s runners!)

Understand that lactic acid causes the burning sensation during a workout and DOMS is damage to muscle cells and has a long-term effect.

Reducing lactic acid build up though it won't prevent DOMS, will help you to work out harder for longer, which is essential for any athlete training for a marathon.

How to prevent Lactic Acid Build up?

1. Stay hydrated.
   
2. Breathe deep while exercising (main cause of lactic acid build up, is lack of Oxygen while exercising).
   
3. Exercise frequently.
   
4. Stretch after workout.
   
5. Warm up before work out.
   
6. Increase your magnesium, fatty acid intake and drink baking soda dissolved in water to make your body alkaline.
   
7. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin B.

Remedies for #tired #winter #feet

Remedy no. 1:
“Socks & Medipod”
This is the most effective way to have nicer, softer and smoother feet. Before going to bed, apply a generous amount of Medipod Foot Repair Cream to the dry areas of your feet and slip on a pair of cotton socks. Make sure you have washed all the bad bacteria out of your socks with FungiSolve. After a few nights, your feet will be noticeably softer and smoother and ready for the long winter ahead.

Remedy no. 2:
“Soak your feet in Salt water”
Take a tub, fill it with lukewarm water and add some salt in it. Then, soak your feet into the water for about 15 to 20 minutes. After that, rinse your feet properly and apply your favorite Medipod lotion. Yes! Easy as that.

Remedy No. 3:
“Scrub Scrub Scrub”
Exfoliation will remove dead skin and will eliminate micro-organisms that cause infection and bad odour. If you not up for that Medipod Foot Repair takes care of infection and odour. Dispense a good amount of foot scrub on your fingers and massage your foot in circular motions. Concentrate more on the fingers and heels.
Rinse off the scrub and pat dry with a towel. Finish off with applying your favorite Medipod lotion and you are done!

Pregnant and scared of germs?

Pets can spread infection

All animals carry germs. Illnesses common among house pets — such as distemper, canine parvovirus, and heartworms — can't be transmitted to humans.

But pets also carry certain bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that can cause illness if transmitted to their owners. Owners get these animal-borne diseases when they're scratched or have contact with an animal's waste, saliva, etc...

They're of greatest concern to young children, infants, pregnant women, and people whose immune systems have been compromised by illness or disease. Infants and kids younger than 5 years old are at risk because their immune systems are still developing, and some infections that might make an adult just mildly sick can be more serious for them.
