The
word 'hygiene' means the practice of keeping ourselves clean. It also means to
keep our home and work places clean. It is important for our good health.
Hygiene
is thought to be next to godliness. It is because we cannot achieve anything
physically, mentally or spiritually if we are unclean in our body, mind and soul.
Nobody likes an unclean person either. So we must follow the rules of hygiene.
First,
we must keep our body clean. We should have a bath every day and wash our hair
regularly. This will keep the body and hair free from dirt and bacteria.
Secondly,
we should wash our clothes regularly. Dirty clothes give off bad smell and
invite germs. We should wear socks and shoes when we go out to protect our feet
from dust and germs. It is also important to wash our hands before meals and
after using the toilet. We should brush our teeth twice a day, after breakfast
and supper. We must also cut our nails regularly. Our drinking water must be
safe. We can get safe water by boiling and filtering.
Finally,
we should keep our surroundings and environment clean. If we do and follow all
the above things properly, we will be able to lead a healthy and happy life.
