We stumbled across a list called, "horrible hygiene habits that are way too common" and I'm here to change your life.

Let's Start Here

Your local supermarket can be the place to help you from getting sick, while also a place that can contribute to it if you don't watch out. We know from past discussions that one of the most germ-infested surfaces in the world is supermarket shopping cart handles. Just think about where everyone's hands have been and you are then putting your hands on top of them.

Here's What You're Not Doing

Coming in at #1 in the "Horrible Hygiene Habits That Are Way Too Common" is "Not cleaning your phone"! Again, think of all of the stuff you handle then the phone pings and you run right over and pick it up. There's also all of the stuff that is spraying out of your mouth and let's not forget the surfaces you lay your phone down on.

Here's The Solution

I am a strong believer in developing habits. Do something once, do it again, and make sure you do it every time. Your local supermarket will, almost without fail, have sterile wipes available near the shopping carts. Very simply, grab one, wipe your phone, wipe your basket handle, and then off you go.

You're Doing Better

You are never going to get all the germs and you certainly don't want to be a germaphobe, but developing the simple habit of wiping your phone and your basket handle could make a nice dent in the amount of germs you're receiving or spreading.
