When you understand how viruses and germs are spread, there is a lot you can do to keep yourself healthy. 当你了解病毒和细菌传播，你会有许多事去做从而使你保持健康的身体。

Here are 15 tips to help you feel good, look good, and stay well. As you will see, it’s all about playing the odds and reducing your risks. 这里有15个提示来帮助你感觉很好,看起来不错并保持好。正如你所看到的，都是为了减少你的风险和概率。

1. Wash your hands frequently. Since your hands are the main carriers of viruses and germs, make it a habit to wash them often, especially EVERY time you use the restroom. 1.经常洗你的双手。你的双手是病毒和细菌的主要来源，养成良好的习惯经常洗手，尤其是你每次去洗手间时。

2. Carry anti-bacteria hand cleaner in your car, briefcase, or purse. This is the best way to sanitize your hands when water and soap are not available. 2.用你那双抗菌的双手去清洁你的车、公文包或者是钱包。当水和肥皂是不可用时，这是清洁你的手最好的方法。

3. Maintain a strong immune system. You are most susceptible to catching something you don’t want when your immune system is weak. 3.保持一个强壮的免疫系统。当你的免疫系统最薄弱的时候，你最容易受到感染。

Getting your rest, exercising, eating healthy foods, and drinking plenty of water will help in keeping your immune system strong. 如果你多休息、多锻炼，吃健康的食物并且多去喝水，这些都会帮助你保持一个强壮的免疫系统。

4. Avoid picking your nose or teeth or rubbing your eyes. Those are the main entry points of viruses and germs. 4.避免挖鼻孔或牙齿或摩擦你的眼睛。这些都是病毒和细菌的主要来源点。

Keep toothpicks available for your teeth and soft facial tissues to rub your eyes, nose, or face. 可用牙签来碰你的牙齿，用柔软的面巾纸擦你的眼睛,鼻子或脸。

5. Take vitamin C daily. Almost every day, 365 days a year, I take vitamin C. 5.每天服用维生素C。几乎每一天,一年中的365天,我都在服用维生素C。

As my doctor told me, “Vitamin C is like little Kung Fu fighters, fighting the bad guys in your body.” 我的医生告诉我说，维生素C是像小功夫战斗机，与你身体中的坏人作战。

When there are more bad guys in your body than good guys you lose the battle and get sick. 当坏人比好人多时，坏人就会失败，你就会生病。

6. Avoid touching rails, banisters, and other public objects. The more frequently you touch things everyone else is touching, the more likely you are to get sick. 6.避免接触栏杆,楼梯扶手和其他公共对象。你越是频繁的触摸这些每个人都触摸的东西，你越是容易生病。

7. Avoid opening public doors with your hands. If the door is one you can push to open, then gently push it with your foot if there is a foot guard or with your shoulder or elbow. 7.避免用你的双手接触公共门把手。如果你需要去开一扇门，可以用脚轻轻的把它打开，如果没办法用脚，你可以用肩膀或者手肘。

8. Be careful of doorknobs. They are the ultimate carrier of germs. 8.小心门把手。它们最终的载体是细菌。

When in a public restroom, keep the paper towel used to dry your hands to open the door. Then while holding the door open with your foot, throw the towel away. 当在公共卫生间时，用你干的手拿着手纸去开门。然后用你的脚把门打开，扔掉纸巾。
