Personal Hygiene - how it has helped me live a healthy life

What is hygiene

Hygiene is anything one does at home or at work to keep a healthy living and prevent disease of any type.

This is very important because it keeps you and your family happy and healthy all the time, it also attract clean friends and most importantly Jehovah is a clean God so I must be clean if I want to continue being His Loyal servants.

What are some things you do in a day as part of your personal hygiene routine?

Personal hygiene is a routine of living your life with the ambition of living a healthy life.

My daily hygiene routine.

washing of hands.

I wash my hands on a regular basis, immediately I get to work before anything else I wash my hands with soap for at least 10-20 seconds and rinse properly.
Washing of hands is very important because we can easily transmit bacteria infections to our body from our hands as we often touch our face.
I wash my hands before I eat anything and immediately I get home from work I have my bath thereby washing my hands too.

Washing of my bathroom and toilet.

I wash my bathroom and toilet everyday because the bathroom if left unwashed can grow some bacteria fungi that can cause candida infections, staphylococcus aureus and other deadly infections, E. Coli can also grow in the bathroom when left unwashed.

I wash clothes on daily basis

Washing of clothes on daily basis helps me prevent some funny smell that might attract some body infections as a result of wearing of clothes more than just once.

washing of my plates everyday.

This is very important because unwashed dishes attracts cockroaches that spread infections that can cause typhoid fever, so I make that no matter how busy I am I wash my plates on daily basis.

Bathing twice a day.

After all the long work and jumping from one public transport to another it is very important that we have our bath again before going to bed because we meet with different people with different types of unknown skin infections that can be contagious if care is not taking, so I have my bath twice a day.

Brushing of teeth.

I brush my teeth twice a day to remove all the leftovers of food that can build up and develop mouth infections or offensive mouth odor.

In what ways do people neglect hygiene?

Most people don't know the important of personal hygiene they don't know that it keeps them healthy and helps them to save money because when you are healthy you have no business with the hospital or pharmacy.

• Most people are too busy to have thier bath and brush their teeth.
• Most people are too busy to prepare thier food and they buy anything they see on the road not considering how the food was prepared and where it was prepared.
• Many people don't even remember to wash their hands even once in a day.
• Most ladies are so busy that thier kitchen utensils are so dirty and unkempt.

What can happen as a result of poor personal hygiene

Poor hygiene can make someone get infected with tuberculosis, typhoid fever, malaria parasite, candida, staphylococcus aureus, E. coli and so many infections even coronavirus and all this can lead to untimely death.
Poor hygiene can lead to death.

If we consider ourselves clean we will also contribute to the hygiene of the nations by not dropping our trash or waste anywhere we see when we are on the road.

Personally I have personal hygiene has helped me to have a healthy body without odour, a healthy teeth without odour and a clear conscience because they God I serve is a clean God.
Let's continue living healthy by maintaining a good hygiene.
