In modern times, it has become so important to take care of one’s health and hygiene. With the rising population, pollution status and outflow of dangerous gases, it has to be a priority for everyone to keep up their health and hygiene. For the human body, health is a good state where every part of the mind and body is in proper order. Likewise, it also works and balances the other parts. Therefore, in other terms, when all parts of the body perform well, this physical well-being state of the human body is called health. It is well said and proved that a healthy person is someone who has a sound body and a sound mind. Health is one of the characteristics of life that helps a person live longer. Agreeing to WHO, health is a state of complete mental, spiritual, physical, and social well-being, not only getting caught by any diseases. However, if a person is under repeated stress and tension, then that person will not be healthy. Hygiene refers to suitable practices and rituals that prevent illnesses and result in excellent health. Thus, it specifically consists of right sewage disposal, cleanliness, and sufficient drinking water supply. So, it consists of all of the activities which can be done to retain and enhance, in addition to retaining sound health. Many children around the world live in conditions that make good hygiene difficult. Where homes, schools, and health centres have dirty floors; where water for washing hands is not available; and even where families share spaces with animals, where maintaining hygiene can be a challenge. This problem can be solved if the government provides a water supply. We can also help solve this problem in different corners of the world through funds and organisations. We must focus on our hygiene as it is one main point of having good health. The only thing that helps a person to feel fit and fine is good hygiene. Otherwise, the bacteria that develop in the dirt will cause many ailments and our health will suffer. When we are surrounded by cleanliness, it makes us happy and motivates us to do our jobs. If there is dirt around us, no matter how hard we try to work, we will not be able to complete the task successfully. Our health will also deteriorate.
