How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut. No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut). Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori, salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces. Unless cleaned well, viruses such as human papillomavirus (causes warts, anal cancer and cervical cancer) can be transmitted when towels are shared with infected individuals. So, what to do? 1.

When very busy, we all tend to find excuses for not doing something, even for things that seem essential to our well-being. "I don t have time" , is our usual answer, when friends or family ask us.

It happened to me very recently in the form of a total burn out. My body too was warning me. I am still feeling exhausted, to be honest. But I made an important decision: to now concentrate MORE on my current needs. So I asked myself the following questions: " what am I missing, what do I want and how could I feel better again?" Well- I found a simple answer to complex questions: RECREATE a specific TIME during which I will do exclusively WHAT I LOVE MOST in life:WRITING. 30 minutes of writing, just for me, each day, no matter what. Even the thought of granting myself this recreative time for my mind brought a BIG SMILE back to my lips. 30 minutes a day to grant yourself a special time, just for yourself might look like nothing, yet these 30 minutes added make lots of wonderful hours during a whole year. Think about it. Think about yourself: you are the most important person on earth. Do your best to do more of the things that really make you HAPPY. Life is too short to live on regrets, it has to be ENJOYED every single day
