1. TAKE CARE
OF YOURSELF.
1 1. Get care when you are ill.
When they are ill, even with communicable
diseases, people often do not isolate themselves
or seek proper treatment. This, as you can
easily see, tends to put you at risk. Insist when
someone is ill that he or she takes the proper
precautions and gets proper care.
1 2. Keep your body clean.
People who do not bathe or wash their hands
regularly, can carry germs. They put you at risk.
You are well within your rights to insist that
people bathe regularly and wash their hands.
It is inevitable that one gets dirty working or
exercising. Get them to clean up afterwards.
1 3. Preserve your teeth.
If one brushed one’s teeth after every meal,
it has been said that one would not suffer tooth
decay. This, or chewing gum after each meal,
goes far toward defending others from oral
diseases and bad breath. Suggest to others that
they preserve their teeth.
1 4. E at properly.
People who do not eat properly are not of
much help to you or themselves. They tend to
have a low energy level. They are sometimes
ill tempered. They become ill more easily. It
-
doesn’t require strange diets to eat properly but
it does require that one eats nourishing food
regularly.
1 5. Get rest.
Although many times in life one has to work
beyond normal sleep periods, a person’s general
failure to get proper rest can make him or her a
burden to others. Tired people are not alert. They
can make mistakes. They have accidents. Just
when you need them they can dump the whole
workload on one. They put others at risk. Insist
that people who do not get proper rest do so.
