2. Hygiene (from
the Greek word
meaning
"health") - in the
modern sense,
hygiene is a part
of preventive
medicine, which
studies the
impact of
environmental
conditions on
human health.
3. Personal hygiene is more expensive than expensive
medicines during epidemics
Frequent hand washing to prevent the flu and other
infectious diseases, as well as wearing a mask and
gloves are much more effective than expensive
medicines, scientists say.
4. The rules of personal hygiene should be learned from childhood.
It is up to the parents to establish the habit of personal hygiene,
they should control the hygiene of the child from an early age.
Personal hygiene is not just about
keeping your body and clothes
clean. People who pay great
attention to personal hygiene, live
in a clean environment, eat clean
food and try to be as clean as
possible around them, are
healthier ...
5. Microbes are everywhere: in the
air, in water, in soil, in plants, in
animals, and, of course, in
humans. In fact, there is no
surface (unless specially treated)
that is not inhabited by
microbes.
Most microbes are harmless,
although some of them pose a
serious threat to our health, so
the more we know about these
tiny creatures, the easier it will
be to protect ourselves from
infections caused by them.
6. Clean oral cavity
The concept of hygiene was understood
differently in different countries at
different times. The rules of hygiene
were sometimes determined by
religious laws, sometimes - by human
origin. Only in the second half of the
nineteenth century, after the discovery
of microbes, did hygiene become one of
the main tools in the fight against
infectious diseases.
Even today, in the XXI century, people
have once again had to recognize that
the best remedy against some
contagious diseases is to follow the
rules of hygiene, even if they wash their
hands often and correctly.
7. Wash your hands properly
There are several steps you can take to begin the process of preparation for mediation.
Wet your hands with clean running water, whether cold or warm.
Apply soap and foam well. This removes dirt, grease and germs from the hands.
Vigorously clean your hands for 20 seconds. Do not miss the wrists, the areas between
the fingers. Thoroughly clean the areas under the nail where a particularly large
amount of dirt accumulates.
Rinse the soap well with clean, running water.

9. Some people do such work that
they need to bathe more often. For
example, he works with hazardous
substances (corrosive metals,
radioactive substances), animals,
butchers, gardeners, miners,
miners ... Such people should be
washed as soon as the work shift is
over.
Bathing immediately after work is
recommended for those who work
in the field (garden, vegetable
garden, cane, vineyard) - it reduces
the risk of allergies and skin
damage.
10. Brush your teeth every morning
and at bedtime
It is especially important to
brush your teeth every time you
eat something sweet or sour,
which can lead to tooth
erosion.
Ideally, your teeth should be
brushed after each meal. If this is
not possible, the minimum
required for good hygiene
should be twice a day. You
should also visit the dentist for
a check-up twice a year.
11. Do not share shaves, towels and makeup with other
people
Sharing personal hygiene items can help spread the
infection. If towels or clothes are to be shared,
make sure you wash them thoroughly before and
after borrowing.
