If we are clean, we can fight and prevent many diseases, especially infectious diseases. Apart from this, cleanliness also improves our physical, mental and spiritual health.
Personal hygiene is an integral part of our daily life. It includes taking care of our body, surroundings, and daily habits to prevent the spread of harmful germs, bacteria and viruses.

(1)Why do you think personal hygiene is important for our health?

Personal hygiene is very important for every person's life because personal hygiene prevents many infections like cold, cough, flu. It prevents food poisoning.
Personal hygiene keeps the body fresh and protects from body odor and skin infections. Personal hygiene develops a person and motivates him to stay healthy.

(2) What are the most important hygiene habits you think everyone should practice everyday?

I think that to maintain personal hygiene, every person should follow at least some of the following habits.

Washing hands

Every person should wash his hands thoroughly with soap after defecation, before eating anything, or before going to the kitchen.

Teeth cleaning

Every person should brush his teeth at least twice a day. So that we can keep our mouth clean and avoid bad breath and diseases.

Cutting or keeping nails clean.

Cutting nails is very important from the point of view of hygiene. But girls nowadays consider it fashionable to grow nails.

Growing nails is not a bad thing, but nails should be kept clean with the help of a brush.

Skin care

Skin care is very important to stay healthy, for which we should take a bath daily.

By taking a bath daily, our body and skin remain clean.

Cleanliness of eyes, nose, ears, and head

We should cover our mouth with a handkerchief while sneezing or coughing.

To stay healthy, we should clean and take care of every part of our body.

Washing hands with soap removes the germs from our hands. Due to which, when we touch our eyes, nose, mouth, then the chances of infection in our respiratory system are reduced.

Keeping our home and surroundings clean

Apart from this, from the point of view of health, we should keep the environment of our neighborhood clean and pure. Our house and kitchen should be kept absolutely clean.

(3) How does hygiene affect our relationship with others?

Hygiene also affects our relationship with others because hygiene is a message of respect for ourselves and others. The good cleanliness done by us increases our confidence and plays an important role in our relationship with others.

Because if we keep the environment around us and ourselves dirty. Then any person will think many times before coming to us. And will try to stay away from us. This brings us disrepute.

We will be respected in society only if we are clean.

(4) How do cultural differences influence hygiene practices around the world?

In many cultures body odor is offensive, but some consider it natural. It is important to avoid assumptions when interacting with different cultures. Because even the new achievements of civilization continue to influence our behaviors, our beliefs or in other words our culture.

(5) What role do you think hygiene play in preventing the spread of illnesses?

Hygiene has the biggest and most important role in preventing the spread of diseases. Because cleanliness is more than just a routine. It is an attractive mix of good habits that shape our health and life.

Our clean home, clean workplace, and clean public places can also make a big difference in preventing diseases.

Good hygiene strengthens the immune system so that the body works better in fighting infections.

Personal hygiene develops a person and motivates him to stay healthy.

Hygiene is not a way to earn money but a good habit that we should follow for good health and healthy life. Every person should follow hygiene as a big responsibility to improve the standard of living.
