There is this popular saying that "health is wealth", people who are sick find it very difficult to live normal lives as others do. These sicknesses could be so severe that the victims are bedriddenedand confined to their discomfort. Some of the serious sicknesses and deaths we witness today are as a result of improper consideration of practices/conditions that promote and preserve health. Therefore, we will take a close look at one great aspect to an healthy life "personal hygiene"

Hygiene could be said to be ways, practices, conditions and avenues that help maintain good health while preventing the spread of diseases

              While

Personal hygiene are ways, conditions and precautions an individual considers to live an healthy life free of diseases.

As said earlier, human life is very important so it our obligation to do everything within our power to safeguard it. Why should we maintain good hygiene??

• Maintaining good personality hygiene saves lives as there will be lesser risks of infections and illnesses that are commonly spread through bacterias and viruses. We all know that "prevention is better than cure", thus good personal hygiene matters.

• It is said that "good appearance is a letter of commendation", therefore when we maintain good personal hygiene, we become more attractive to people both far and near.

• We turn out to be role models to others as they will always strive to imitate such individual as well.

• People who observe good personal hygiene are prone to having high self-esteem and confidence even in public as they tend to socialize and mingle with others perfectly because there is nothing to be ashamed of.

• An individual who strictly adhere to hygienic measures could be made a national figure or awarded a prize/title due to his hygienic manners. Thus it brings about fame/popularity.

• I make it my priority to wash my hands frequently (2-3 times a day) and of course the covid19 regulations has helped me adhere to it

She's washing her hands.

• I brush regularly to avoid having bad breath

• I avoid sharing my personal belongings (comb, toothbrush, towel, underwears, blades, etc) for any reason

• Although I have a very busy schedule, I make it an habit to be physically fit by engaging in exercises such as running, jogging or taking a stroll at least once in a week

• Making sure the home is always neat and clean by mopping, sweeping or dusting etc

• I endeavor to shower at least twice in a day

• I try to take care of my hair be washing, treating and braiding it when necessary

• Kitchen hygiene is also very important, hence I and my household make sure that there are no dirty dishes in the kitchen to keep flies away

• My family also engage in the monthly environmental sanitation by making pathways for stagnant water, clearing bushes around the house etc

Above are just few ways I try to maintain personal hygiene. Life is irreplaceable and we live just once, so we should make it a point of duty to be physically fit, clean, maintain personal hygiene always and be sure to live a germ-free life.
