What Is Hygiene?

Hygiene refers to behavior that can improve cleanliness and lead to good health,such as frequent hand washing, facial cleanliness and bathing with soap and water. Generally,we use the term"hygiene" to describe the practice of keeping oneself and their surrounding clean, especially to prevent illness or the spreading disease. Good hygiene is a barrier to many contagious diseases including fecial - oral diseases.

Types Of Hygiene

Generally we have different type of hygiene and I will be mentioning four of them and there are:

• Personal Hygiene
• Environmental hygiene
• Domestic hygiene
• Food hygiene

Personal Hygiene

Personal Hygiene is how you take care of yourself. maintaining hygiene practice reduces the spread of illness and risk of medical conditions caused by not taking care of yourself. It also increase self-confidence and positively impacts personal relationship.

what are some things you do in a day as part of your personal hygiene routine

• I take my bath regularly at least twice a day but when am at home I take my bath three times a day depending the weather conditions.
• As a beaker I always trim my nails and keep them clean to avoid infecting the food am making with bacterias.
• I always brush your teeth morning and evening before bed time.
• I always make sure I keep my clothes clean at all time because I don't like wearing clothes two times not to talk of underwear.
• My house is always clean mostly especially the kitchen and bathroom, I always wash my bathroom every two two days so as to avoid infection.

In what ways do people neglect hygiene?

Some people use the excuse of not having enough energy to do simple self-care tasks such as sweeping, brushing their teeth, cutting their nails, keeping their hair clean some people even see taking their bath as a big problem and all of this is as a result of lazyness.

What happens as a result of poor personal hygiene?

Poor personal hygiene can lead to some dangerous side effects in the life of an individual and such effects are :

• Body lice
• Head lice
• Body odor
• Athlete's foot
• Chronic diarrhea
• Tooth decay
• Loss of skin
• Infection
• Mouth odor

How many times do you take your bath and brush your mouth in a day?

I always take my bath three times a day but when am not at home during the day I take my bath twice that is morning and night every day, I don't miss my night bath because without it there is no way I can sleep even if the weather is cold. I always brush my teeth two times a day morning and evening, brushing my teeth before doing anything in the morning is a priority to me even if toothpaste is not available at that moment I will use salt.

Conclusion

Hygiene is an important part of every individual because it also bost the self esteem of that individual and it also reduce of getting infection. So guys always make sure to stay hygienic and stay away from sickness.
