Hygiene can be seen as activities or practices that promotes or sustains health. It could involve taking care of our body, our environment, including the water and food we eat. There are plenty of things which one can do on a daily basis to promote good hygiene. Let me list some of them.
Ways we can maintain Hygiene
Taking our bath atleast twice a day is one step towards living a hygienic lifestyle.When we wash our body with water, soap and sponge, it would look clean and free from germs.
Another way is brushing our teeth regularly atleast every morning. We chew with our mouth and there are chances that food particles will clog on the teeth, so brushing the teeth helps to clean up those dirts thus giving the individual a fresh breath.
Cleaning of our houses and surrounding is still part of hygiene. Household refuse and dirts if allowed in the surrounding can pollute the air we breathe and so can cause sickness. Therefore, it is important we get rid of refuses and dirty materials in our environment.
Ways people neglect Hygiene
People neglect hygiene by not taking their bath, not brushing their teeth, not washing their clothes and hands properly, not disposing refuses and eating dirty or contaminated food.
Consequences of neglecting Hygiene
A lot of negative things can happen when hygiene is neglected. Some of the things are:
•Bad breath:
When an individual does not practice oral hygiene by brushing his/her teeth regularly, it would result in bad breath- a situation where the mouth smells and people won't like to listen to what the person is saying.
•Sickness:
Poor hygiene can lead to sickness. When an individual allows refuse to liter the environment. It would lead to air pullution and thus can make people living around to fall sick.
There are other consequences of maintaining a poor hygiene buy because of time, I won't talk about them at the moment.
My Oral and Body Hygiene
As for my oral and bathing regime. I take my bath twice a day which is morning and night. Then in terms of oral hygiene, I brush twice a day but I don't use the same toothpaste. I try to use two different types of toothpaste for personal reasons. However, if I am going for a function in the afternoon, it means I would brush three times that particular day.
Last Line
I believe hygiene is an age long activity. Even our forefathers practiced hygiene too. They use chewing stick to observe oral hygiene, they dump refuses at the farm or forest, they wash their clothes and practice virtually every act of cleanliness. In this modern dispensation, hygiene is still been practiced by brushing, bathing, cleaning the surroundings, eating clean food, purifying the water we drink and washing our plates and other utensils.
Honestly I must say that this one of the best quality post I have read on steemalive. I am not surprised when I noticed that he is a teacher. Probably a teacher of English language. Keep it up. I commended the writer for the following reasons:
First, his English is good and flows smoothly. I observed less grammatical errors. Infact , most writers here are good content developers but present their work in wrong English with mistakes. Mistakes are bound to occur and the condition under which we write here does not give us room to get friends to proof read our work before posting, but all the same let us try to reduce the errors to the barest minimum like @samuel in this post
Finally, this kind of work should not be married by spelling errors . There are a few of them. As a matter of fact they are the errors am talking about.Always read your work repeatedly to avoid or reduce it your subsequent work. Thank you and good luck.

This last last caught my attention. Till date, my parents still use chewing stick, and I sometimes use it too. 😉
Personal hygiene is very important and everyone must endeavor to practice it.
Absolutely, getting rid of refuse by taking them to refuse dump is the proper way but people keep them and dump them in indiscriminately on the roads, in the gutters and waterways thereby leading to more pollution and blockage of these gutters which is very disheartening.

This shouldn't be debated, everyone knows that's the best thing to do, but may be unable to do it due to unavailability of soap and water at some point in time. So an alcohol based hand sanitizer should be the next best alternative.
