"Clean & Shine: The Health and Hygiene Showdown! (2) "
Hello, my good Steemit friends! I am happy to have you here reading through my post, in which I talked about "Clean & Shine: The Health and Hygiene Showdown!" which is organized by @aaliarubab.
What is hygiene and why is it important to one's health?
Hygiene simply means the science of health which involves promotion, and preservation such as keeping our body and environment clean. Hygiene is the condition that we practice to stay away from dirt or disease which helps improve our health.
Hygiene is very important when preparing food as it helps us remove spoiled foods which can become harmful to our bodies. Hygiene is also important because it improves our health and makes us stay healthy all the time.
Maintaining personal hygiene is one good way to avoid getting skin diseases or stomach pain. An environment that maintains personal hygiene is good for human-being to stay as a polluted environment causes us to have health issues.
• List and explain ways to keep good hygiene
Bathing every day (cleaning our body every day):
This is the first way to maintain good hygiene by cleaning our bodies every day. Bathing keeps our body clean and it removes heat (sweat) from our body which helps protect us from getting body rashes and body odour.
Brushing our teeth twice in a day:
Brushing our teeth helps to keep our teeth clean and helps us to avoid having mouth odor (smell). Whenever you wake up in the morning you should ensure that you have brushed your teeth before going out and also at night before going to sleep brush your teeth.
Washing your hands after returning from work or going to the toilet
Anytime you finish toileting you should wash your hands using soap before doing other things and also when you are back from work or school you should wash your hands using soap before eating. Finally, wash your hands with soap after touching pets and playing with animals.
• What do you understand by the phrase "Cleanliness is next to Godliness"
"Cleanliness is next to Godliness" is a phrase that Christians believe is the best form to stay purified from sins and other things. However, in terms of health "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" which means keeping myself clean by removing and avoiding dirt from my body and making myself clean like an angel.
In conclusion, the phrase "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" is a wise man saying that points out the importance of cleanliness in our lives.
