we have all heard the saying 'Cleaniless is next to Godliness' but have you ever wondered why cleaniless is encouraged so much? okay we have all been taught from a very young age that you have to keep clean to keep healthy or avoid illness right.
it seems however cleaniless is not a priority for some people or rather, dirt does not really bother them even in the midst of the pig swine flu.
I am not saying we should have obsessed disorders about cleaniless, in fact being overly clean is also discourgaed, the immune system needs a certain amount of bacteria to functions properly and be able to fight off disease.
with that in mind, i looked the word hygiene and this is what wikipedia says Hygiene, refers to the set of practices associated with the preservation of health and healthy living. Hygiene is a concept related to medicine, as well as to personal and professional care practices related to most aspects of living, although it is most often associated with cleanliness and preventative measures. In medicine, hygiene practices are employed to reduce the incidence and spreading of disease
there are of course many things that need to be employed to keep clean such as
BATHING or SHOWERING
Well there people who can go through a day without a bath and then get away with it, but if you miss it for long enough soon you will start to smell. take a moment to wash up even if u have to do it in a basin but as long as you do it.
BRUSHING YOUR TEETH
well this one should also be done or else ke mathata, there are poeple you are even afraid to talk to others because of thier badbreath, come now people i mean if you are too lazy to take a bath surely a few minutes of brushing wont hurt, bad breath is a huge turn off.
WASHING YOUR HANDS
we know our hands touch a lot hence it is encouraged that we wash frequently. at times i hate shaking hands simply because i do not know where the hand was before it toched me. my high school teacher use to say she will never share a meal with a man because she does have to hold anything when she goes to the loo.
SHAVING BODY HAIR
not only does shaving body hair keeps clean but it also make body parts look oh so natural and admirable *wink wink*. but its all a personal choice but underarms hair has to go.
hair on your head also needs to washed be to avoid lice and this includes weaves and bondings.
CLEANING YOUR SURROUNDING
this includes your home and office, there are some homes where i am sure i will reject if they offfer me something to eat, they are just dirty with dishes always in the sink, dirty dishwashing cloths, foodmarks on the fridge ... how do they live in those homes? offices must the dirties, depending on the office you are placed @ of course. some tables are just downright filthy. some say they wont keep them clean because is not thier homes but they spend more time in them than anywhere else and you cant depend on the cleaning who only comes once a month.
ever thought about the amount of germs on your handbag, doorhandles,keyrings?
how hygienic are you and how hygienic should one really be?
i still have to learn to clean wearing gloves, they make cleaning so difficult.
