SteemAlive Presents: ProWritersHub (W5)||Personal Hygiene
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.
Hi @samuel20, this is amazing!
I never think of this, personally, I do change my toothbrush or migrate to a new one every 3 months. But, though,you said it's personal, please can you educate me on the importance of using 2 different toothbrush same day?
