		<description><![CDATA[To help fight diseases, doctors advise frequent hand washing. Dirty hands are often the avenues from which germs can get past the body&#8217;s defenses. One little act of touching your eyes, or eating with unwashed fingers can bring millions of harmful bacteria and viruses that can cause cough, colds, or worse.
