an airway for breathing.
 It is important to take care of your nose so that you
will not have problems with your breathing and
smelling.
 We breathe in air through our nose. We smell odors
also through our nose. We cannot do these things
without this organ.
 Sometimes we take our taste organs for granted.
When we do not keep our mouth clean, our tongue is
affected.
Have you experienced getting a sore in your tongue?

or spicy foods. Here are ways of caring for the nose
and tongue.
How can we take care of our nose and tongue?
Nose
 Clean your nose regularly.

to the tiny hairs and mucus in your nostrils when
you breathe.

may cause allergies and infections. Thus, it is

Caring for your Skin
 The skin is the covering of the body. It is your
organ for touch.
 It also helps control your body temperature and
works as a shield against elements in your
environment that can be harmful to you, such
as dust, germs, and sunlight.
 Keeping your skin healthy will help you fight
bad germs and diseases and help you heal
faster.
 Your skin can tell many things about your
surroundings, so it is important to keep your
skin healthy.
How can we take care of our skin?
 Eat healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits,
meats, and grains.
- A healthy diet will keep your skin looking
smooth and glowing.
 Protect your skin from the sun.
- Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause
sunburn and age spots.
- It also increases your chances of getting
skin cancer.
- Avoid being out in the sun when sunlight is
 important to keep your nose clean.
- Use a tissue or a clean handkerchief when
cleaning your nose.
- Always wash your hands before and after
cleaning your nose to keep germs from
spreading.
 Drink plenty of fluids when you have a cold.
- Getting enough fluids, such as juices, soups, and
warm water, helps you replace the extra mucus
that you excrete from your nose.
- These can also help relieve stuffy nose by
increasing mucus flow.
 Blow your stuffy nose gently, one nostril at a time.
- A stuffy nose is caused by swollen blood vessels
in the sinuses and not by too much mucus in the
nasal passages.
- The blood vessels in your nose becomes swollen
when you have a cold, allergies, or flu.
- Blowing your nose hard can put pressure on your
nose and ears.
- Mucus might end up in your sinuses instead of
going out of your nose and may cause sinus
infection.
- The pressure might also force mucus to go into
your ear and cause an ear infection.
- Make sure to blow your nose gently, one nostrils
at a time, to prevent this from happening.
- Do this away from other people so that you do
not infect them.
- Always wash your hands after you blow your
nose.

am and 3 pm).
- If you cannot avoid being out during this
period, make sure to use an umbrella to
shield your skin from the sun.
- Apply sunscreen with a sun protection
factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. Reapply the
sunscreen every two hours.
- The energy from the sun, called ultraviolet
(UV) rays, caused the discoloration of the
skin and it is also responsible for giving
people sunburns.
 Always stay clean.
- Take a bath daily. Do not scrub you skin
too hard so that it will not get irritated or
dry.
- Wash your face twice a day using warm
water and mild soap.
- Avoid using strong soap that can dry and
irritate your skin.
- Do not use a towel that others have already
used.
- Apply lotion and moisturizer on your skin
when necessary to keep your skin from
becoming dry and scaly.
- In addition, change your clothes when you
sweat excessively so that you will not
develop bad body odor.
 Drink plenty of water.

you feel thirsty. Drinking as much water as
your body needs can help give you skin a

nose with your thumb and finger.
Tongue
 The tongue is the sense organ for tasting. It also
helps you speak.
 Through your tongue, you can swallow your food
and drinks.
 The surface of the tongue has many spots where
bacteria and acid can hide and multiply.
 Clean your tongue properly and regularly.
- When you brush your teeth after every meal, do
not forget to clean your tongue.
- Using your toothbrush or a tongue scraper, gently
brush your tongue in a downward motion to
remove all accumulated fragments of food and
dead skin. Then rinse your mouth thoroughly with
water.
- You can also use a mouthwash once in a while
after brushing your tongue and teeth to keep your
breath fresh.
 Avoid eating and drinking very hot or very spicy food.
- Very hot food and drinks can burn your tongue.
Let the hot food or drink cool first before taking a
bite or a sip.
- Spicy food can also burn your tongue. Make sure
to avoid these types of food if you cannot handle
the heat. When you burn your tongue, you may
have difficulty tasting.
 Do not put sharply or dirty objects in your mouth.
- Sharp objects may injure your tongue or other
 parts of your mouth.
- Dirty objects can expose you to bad germs and
make you sick. Make sure that the things you put
in your mouth are clean, healthy food.

C. DEEPEN the good state of your nose and tongue?
Remember:
 The human tongue plays many critical roles. It
functions as a digestive organ and facilitates the
movement of food when chewing and swallowing. It
also assists with taste and speech. While the tongue
is vital to good health, few people give it the attention
it deserves.
 Your nose is essential for conditioning the air you
breathe apart from humidifying and controlling the
temperature of the air you inhale. It facilitates optimal
oxygen intake and discharge of carbon dioxide.
Since nasal hygiene involves keeping your nasal
passages clean, clear, and moisturized, it enhances
all the functions of your nose and reduces any
congestion that disrupts breathing or causes
irritation.

Based on your habits, what actions do you take to
maintain the health of your skin?
Remember:
 Healthy skin is important because it produces
vitamin D when exposed to the sun. Fifteen
minutes in the sun without sunscreen (in the
morning) is a great way to get your daily
Vitamin D. Vitamin D is important for many of
our body’s functions such as Calcium
production and bone growth.
 Healthy skin also helps keep your body’s
temperature at a constant level and helps you
to react better to the changes around you by
feeling pressure and pain.

harmful bacteria and bad environmental
pollutants. It is very important to take care of
your skin because it takes care of you.
