Clean & Shine: The Health and Hygiene Showdown!"

Hello everyone here in this community, Greetings to you all from this end. I want to believe we are all doing good here, if so then thanks be to the almighty. I am v-brainer and today being my first time to post in this community, i would like to share my own view on the contest with the topic "Clean & Shine: The Health and Hygiene Showdown!" That is been organized using the official account of the Healthy Steem community. Please ride with me as we we dive into health talk.

Like the saying goes, "Health is Wealth" and so, it should be something we should take very serious and as well create awareness about so as to enlighten people who lack knowledge about how to keep good hygiene to learn.

Hygiene are activities we do to keep both ourselves and our surrounding clean to stay healthy. Some of the activities involved in keep good hygiene includes; washing our hands regularly, washing our clothings, taking our bath atleast twice a day, sweeping and cleaning our environment everyday, washing our toilets and bathrooms, disposing our refuse and waste properly and many other things we can do to keep germs off our environment.

Keeping good hygiene is very important to our health because apart from the fact that it prevent us from coming in contact with disease and make us fall sick, it makes us feel comfortable (living in a clean environment feels good). The chances of a person to become I'll in a clean environment is very slim compared to another staying in a very dirty environment.

For me, i believe that one of the easiest and most effective form of hygiene is by washing our hands regularly especially after coming in contact with dirty materials or working in a disease prone place. Our hands are very important part of our body that we often use the most and that is why it is very necessary to always keep it clean.

Most times we use our hands to pick dirty materials from the environment, we use our hands when we use the toilets, we use our hands in our day-to-day activities and unknowing to us by even touching others or having a handshake with others who must have touched dirty things, we normally come in contact with bacteria and other harmful germs which may be too small for us to see with our naked eyes.

These bacteria and germs can be harmful to us and make us fall sick, but by regularly washing our hands with water and detergent or sanitizer, we keep these germs away and prevent illness it would cause to us.

It is very important to always keep our hands and environment as well clean so as to prevent our selves from contacting disease. Our hands sometimes can be a vector to certain diseases and there are several diseases that we can contact through our hands. Some of this diseases are listed below;

Ebola Virus

Ebola virus is a viral disease that can be contacted by touching the blood, organ or body fluid of infected person, one can also get infected by touching object that has been contaminated with the virus and once infected can only survive for 15 days or less without proper treatment . By washing our hands regularly, we tend to keep our self clean and free from such infection especially after making contact with contaminated object.

Coronavirus

Coronavirus is also a viral disease that attacks the respiratory system of it victims. It is sometimes called COVID-19 and can also be contacted by making direct contact with an infected person. One of the ways of preventing Coronavirus is by making sure to wash our hands regularly and adding other protective measures too.

The need for keeping our environment and clean can not be overemphasized. The benefits of keeping our surrounding clean are just too many. We must make sure to stay clean in other not to always fall ill and live a very healthy life. Like i said earlier "health is Wealth", we spend more money in buying medications when we are sick and most times can't even do our business activities normally unlike when we are healthy, so there is so much need to keep our environment clean so as to prevent bacteria and germs that can lead to sickness.

There is so much contribution cleanliness does to our well being in the sense that, it prevent illness that can lead to death or severe conditions. The hospital are filled with sick people who wished they are healthy and some can be as a result of poor hygiene. Advisably, we should take personal hygiene very serious now that we can because people that are dead as a result of contamination have no chance of readjusting and making it right.

This is one of the most interesting contest i am glad to engage in this month because health is one of the most important aspect of human life and shouldn't be taking for granted and so i will like to invite my friends @solexybaba @samuelebuka and @gidsbrown to take part and share their own view on the contest.

Thank you all for visiting my blog. I Appreciate ❣️
