If you lives in a tropical area with two seasons, make sure you take a bath or shower twice a day. It is necessary because some excretion from bodily processes are taken out through the skin. Combined with a very high humidity, it creates an ideal environment for bacteria to multiply. After each bath, make sure you change into clean cloth. Do not reuse the dirty sweaty cloth, because it is a fertile ground for bacteria (NEGATIVE ENERGY). Wash your towels regularly. Never use them longer than three days. Also they are a breeding ground for bacteria.
Pay attention to your cosmetics too, as those will be absorbed by your skin and can weaken your immune system.
There is ancient proverb said “Tidak Sakit Masih Jauh Dari Sehat” it means if you are not sick, it is still far away from healthy. Human organs are like a machine in a jet plane or vehicle. We have to take a good care of them. In addition, to those who are above 40, even if you have no complain, it is better to take care of them once a month (therapy).
And above everything, remember that a smile from the heart has the incredible power to increase the immune system. So start smiling!
