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
always 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 pure. We can get pure water by boiling
and filtering. Finally, we should keep our surrounding and environment clean.
If we do and follow
all the above things properly, we will be able to lead a healthy and happy
life.
