The role of hot water in maintaining good hygiene
The importance of good hygiene cannot be overestimated. Good hygiene which entails keeping the hands, nails, hair, and body clean crucial for stopping the spread of germs from entering the body to cause illness.
Good hygiene involves the daily routine tasks of brushing the teeth and flossing to maintain good dental care, washing the hair regularly, and also taking daily baths with hot or warm water, especially when the body has been exposed to dirt and germs in the cause of work or play.
Another important aspect of hygiene is the washing of hands especially in this pandemic season which ensures that the hands are germ-free and clean as often as possible.
Bathing with warm water from a good source of heated water allows the expansion of the blood vessels to promote better blood circulation in the body especially to areas of injuries on the skin for proper healing. This enhances the healing process, allowing for bruises on the skin to heal faster thereby preventing infection.
Experts also opine that washing the hair with hot water opens the pores of the scalp for deep cleansing and also allows for the scalp to absorb oils and moisture good for hair growth.
Cosmetic dermatologists also acknowledge that warm water promotes healthier skin and encourages hair growth and vitality while people who have aged gracefully attest to the drinking of hot water and lemon to help in the fight against the body’s internal and external aging processes.
Washing of the hands with warm water especially after touching a face mask is essential as well as washing of all cloth face masks with hot or warm water. Cleaning napkins with hot water and dishes with warm water will help maintain a clean and hygienic environment in your home giving little room for viruses and bacteria to thrive.
Washing clothes, bathtubs and floors with warm water from water heaters are also known to not only clean them more effectively but weaken and eliminate bacterial and viral elements on these surfaces.
In our everyday lives, hot water helps us maintain a hygienic environment.
Research shows that bathing with hot water makes for a cleaner and more thorough bathing experience. This is because hot water melts out the dirt and oil from the skin more effectively than cold water.
Hot water is more effective in washing dishes and clothes as well as surfaces and mopping floors. Hot water is not just a luxury but a necessity in every home to maintain hygiene and ensure cleanliness, hence water heaters have become an indispensable and must-have gadget in every home.
Hot water in most ways has helped us live a more hygienic life. Taking hot baths at various stages of our lives have helped us relax better while helping our skins and hair grow and grow healthily.
Hot water has helped us clean our environment more effectively thereby helping us live healthier and more hygienic lives. It is, therefore, advisable to invest in quality water heaters such as Ariston water heater, et cetera, to keep your home clean and hygienic.

Lotto wahala and Tuobodom palaver
In Sikaman lotto is not a game. It is a profession, a noble career which people aspire to. It is the highest paying profession after armed robbery and the most widespread job on this side of the Atlantic.
In places like China, lotto is a disease that has no cure. Once you are infected, no doctor on earth can cure you. May be Kofi Larteh, Ghana’s most celebrated magician, can help ease the symptoms, but no definitive cure will be forthcoming.
Coming back to Sikaman, lotto has been the financial messiah of many. That is how people look after their large families, pay school fees, marry two wives and do their own ‘monkey things.’
If you are very poor and you win a lottery, chances are that you will die before you even collect the money. You’ll die out of excitement or you’ll start day-dreaming in the streets and an articulated truck will hit you.
As such, very heavy wins are not recommended for poor people, lest they get listed too soon in the obituary columns.
The sad story is told of a heavy-duty caterpillar driver who had a very heavy lotto windfall of several millions, his first big win after several years.
CATERPILLAR
He was driving the caterpillar home when he saw his son running towards him, shouting. “All your numbers have dropped! All your numbers have dropped! He could not believe his ears.
All the four numbers he had staked had dropped and his son, who had gone to stake them for him, was himself over-excited. The poor caterpillar man just could not handle the good news. He suddenly stepped on the brakes and the caterpillar jolted him a trifle too violently, throwing him off. He landed right in front of the still moving heavy-duty machine and it crushed him flat.
I don’t think the bloke would have died if he had won a smaller amount. Sometimes too much cash is not good for the health.
Seldom, people get too confident and that can also result in a wake-keeping, like that of a man who used his lifetime savings and borrowed extra money to crack the machine with a two-sure that the compiler must compulsory drop or the world will end.
Even the shadows of the numbers or their counterparts were nowhere near the winning numbers. His shock-absorbers crumbled under the weight of the heavy disappointment. He crashed to the floor and started foaming at the mouth. He was declared dead on arrival at the nearest clinic.
WINDFALL
Recently, there was a countrywide lotto windfall, and in Kumasi it was more than a festival. Most stakers had between ¢30m and ¢40 million on two-sure that the lotto magicians had predicted at least three weeks earlier,
Kejetia chop bars were besieged with overnight millionaires, carrying huge appetites induced by Opeimu Bitters popularly called Opeimu Peters. All the meat and mudfish got sold out within an hour and procurement agents had to double up to restock.
While some were celebrating, others were weeping and gnashing teeth. The problem was that, three weeks beforehand, the two sure numbers were declared by all the lotto sorcerers, dreamers, magicians, tellers and all the self-appointed and self-promoted forecasters.
Everybody including 10-year-olds, who staked and lost. The following week, they were advised to continue staking. The faithful did continue but the faithless stopped. All of them lost. In the third week or so, a good number of confident stakers had lost faith in the two numbers. That was when the number landed.
So the windfall was for only those who had the unshakeable faith in the numbers. See what faith can do? It can move dollars. Don’t waver, so saith the holy scriptures.
The faithless indeed gnashed teeth. The winners on the other hand celebrated with a song that is as controversial as the business of lotto. It is a song played by the group called Nkasei and has something to do with a town in the Brong Ahafo Region called Tuobodom whose capital we hear is Jinijini.
I hear it is a derogatory song and the queen mother of Tuobodom got charged and breathed out electric current during her protest on air. She allegedly ended up demanding a mobile phone from Nkasei so that she could communicate with them to settle the matter peacefully, lest wahala.
Well, the song is rising up the charts and Nkasei are making the dough, but should it be at the expense of a whole townsfolk, their forebears and generations to come?
WATERPROOF
Waterproof, the famous comedian, was allegedly given hefty slaps at the Kumasi rail station by some Frafra jingoists who felt he was deriding their tribe. And Bob Okala had to run with his tail between his legs when he was confronted and realised that slaps were going to be visited on his lean face.
Let’s not use words and lyrics to cause discomfort to others.
