How to fight germs
To stay healthy, your body must fight germs. Germs are too small to see. They can make you sick.
You can help protect your body from germs by washing your hands, especially before you eat. Soap and water wash away germs before they get into your mouth.
You can also fight germs by making healthy choices. Eating fruits, vegetables, milk and other good foods gives your body fuel to grow and work well. Running, jumping and other safe play keep your body and heart strong. Sleep gives your body rest and time to build new strength.
Keep germs from spreading by covering your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough. Then throw your tissue away and wash your hands right away so germs go down the drain.
