Greetings to all the steemians around the world. Hygiene is very crucial in one's health, especially personal hygiene were you'll be required to keep your environment clean, and most importantly, keeping yourself clean and neat.

Most people i see around my area are so disgusting, why? Because of their body odour. What makes thier body smell that way? Because they don't practice good hygiene. In this post, I'm going to explore numerous aspects of good hygiene and also it's importance to one's health.

What is hygiene and why is it important to one's health?

Good hygiene can simply be defined as the practice we repeat everyday, so as to achieve or maintain good health and cleanliness. Before one has a good hygiene, he or she must practically do this by making the environment clean always, washing of hands regularly, taking our bath regularly and also going for dental care. We are humans, without taking care of our body regularly, we'll be disgusted by others.

Good hygiene is very important or crucial to one's health, because it'll prevent us from various diseases such as malaria, fever, typhoid, and even prevent our skin from rashes. Good hygiene is important because it'll surely promote a healthy lifestyle.

Food hygiene
When talking about food hygiene, what comes into our mind? Most people think the best way to practice food hygiene is to cover our foods when we're not ready to eat, that's included though, but cooking raw foods like meat properly is also another practice of food hygiene.

Disposal of waste
That's the most irritating part of it. We all have waste bins in our various homes, internal waste bin and external waste bin. The best thing to do so as to practice a good hygiene is to dump those waste before it's full.

Toilet hygiene
They're these small insects you'll see in the toilet anytime the toilet is not properly handled. Though we spend few minutes in the toilet those insects can invite sickness to our home. So it's advisable to wash our toilet regularly by using the right detergent, to make it sparkling and clean.

Hand washing
Washing of hands regularly is very crucial to one's health, that's why during the COVID-19 pandemic, we were advised to do so. Washing our hands atleast 20 seconds is a good way to maintain a good hygiene.

Oral hygiene
Oral hygiene involves brushing our teeth, atleast 2 times a day. Brushing our teeth everyday is a good hygiene, and this will prevent bad breath and dental problems.

What do you understand by the phrase "Cleanliness is next to Godliness"

"Cleanliness is next to Godliness" is not just a phrase but a true fact. In my simple understanding, our creator Jehovah is a clean and decent God, so we humans that are serving him must also follow His footsteps. What does this simply means? If we're clean, we can serve God, if we're not, God can't welcome us, that's why people say that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness".

In conclusion
We all should try and practice a good hygiene, because it comes with lots of benefits, we'll stay healthy and strong, also make our life on earth longer.
