The word HYGIENE comes from the Greek goddess of health named "Hygieia."
A healthy mind helps in achieving success in whatever you do. But this is possible only if your body is healthy and the body remains healthy through healthy habits and hygiene. Lets look at some basic hygiene that we can practice and lead a healthy life.
Washing your hands, semlling clean, brushing your teeth, cutting your nails etc are all common practises which you may or may not be aware of. However, there are many children who are not aware of proper toilet sanitation, which must be explained and demonstrated to them at an early age.
- A girl must know to place the toilet seat down when using the toilet.
- A boy must be aware to place the toilet seat up when using the toilet.
- Always wash your hands with soap/handwash after using the toilet.
- One must also be aware of toilet sear covers which are available at any chemist and can be used to cover the toilet seat when dirty and also very useful while travelling.
- A sanitizer is a must! And is available in attractive shapes and colours which you can attach to school bags too!
- Learn to buy your personal belongings at an early age.
