Society Story: Check whether you are doing these everyday things right

We are so busy throughout the day that most of our daily issues are done automatically. But wait. Are you sure you are doing them right? Let's check it.

#1 Reheating food in the microwave

Though microwaves are designed to heat food evenly, it would be better if you put it in the shape of a ring, leaving the central part of a plate empty.

#2 Hold a glass by its stem

If you hold your glass by its stem the temperature of your drink won't change. That means you'll enjoy its real smell and taste.

#3 The amount of toothpaste

We used to think that we need to cover the entire toothbrush with toothpaste. However, dentists say it is enough to use half of that amount.

#4 Holding a pen

It would be better if you hold a pen with three fingers. Rest it on your middle finger and hold with your index finger and thumb. Relax your ring finger and pinky. Try not to squeeze your pen. It'll prevent your hand from pain and tiredness

#5 Temperature of bath water

If you want to have a good sleep after taking a bath, control its temperature. The water should be warm, not hot. Hot water will warm up your body and it will be difficult to fall asleep.

#6 Flushing the toilet

Did you know that you should close the seat before you flush the toilet? That prevents the spread of bacteria through the air. Otherwise, bacteria can be found on the floor and towels.

And what about you? How does it strike you? Do you have any thoughts or ideas to share ? You are welcome to do so in the comments below!

Do you know of anyone who became ill from bacteria that was spread from not closing the lid of the toilet when flushing?I didn't think so>

I always close the lid of the toilet. Makes NO sense to leave it open. It looks terrible and prevents things from falling in it.

Susan Ludwig

Gerald Goltz, yes - they leared this during SARS.

I knew #6 and always close the lid before flushing, and I thought everyone held a pen that way, but live and learn. Thanks for Tip #1, I didn't know that and will use it in future.
