Why would a doctor recommend washing your hands to help prevent spreading a communicable disease?
With the advent of indoor plumbing and soap manufacturing, the spread of disease dropped dramatically. Simply washing the bacteria from your hands prevents transmission of germs from person to person.
How does washing your hands help prevent the spread of?
Microbes that cause disease are actually "things". Things that can be washed off like dirt. They can be washed off your hands before you touch yourself with the germs still on your hands. If you have the pathogens on your hands and then touch your nose, mouth, or eyes, the chance of getting the infection the germs cause is much higher. Washing your hands actually mechanically removes these "things" from your skin both with the friction and rubbing with the soap and also with the washing action of the running warm water. Drying your hands well on clean towels will also help dislodge any microbes left behind. In addition, the soap/detergents also affect some types of microbes by removing the protective fats/oils that surround them and/or hold them on your skin. It is hard to remember that you may have recently touched something in public that might have germs on it when your nose itches. You forget and rub it with the contaminated hands and pass the germs directly into the vulnerable mucous tissue. Try to develop some hand awareness habits and frequently used routines for washing hands after public contacts.

Why do you need to wash your hands?
Your hands get bacteria (germs) on them from touching things. If you don't wash your hands, then you touch your mouth or you pick up food with your hands and eat the food, that bacteria can then get in your mouth, and some of it can be bad enough to make you very sick. There are some germs that you can have on your hands that can give you diarrhea, make you vomit, and just generally make you feel really lousy. Other types of bacteria can actually kill you. Many years ago, like in the 1500s and 1600s, doctors used to operate on people without washing their hands first. As a result, many of their patients died. Now that all doctors wash their hands before doing surgery, there is a much higher survival rate.
Can we substitute the use of plastic gloves for hand washing When do change them?
No. You have to have clean hands to put them on and are liable to get your hands dirty taking them off. You also have to have a new pair anytime you touch a different ingredient. Why would you want to do that anyway washing your hands is much much cheaper and even in places you are required to wear gloves you need to wash your hands a lot.
