TOPIC: HEALTH AND HYGIENE

ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to develop and test measures of health and hygiene
knowledge, attitudes and behavior. Individual health and hygiene is largely
dependent on adequate availability of drinking water and proper sanitation.
Therefore, a direct relationship between water, sanitation and health.
Consumption of unsafe drinking water, improper disposal of human excreta,
improper environmental sanitation and lack of personal and food hygiene
have been major causes of many diseases in developing countries and India is
no exception to this. Sanitation is one of the basic determinants of quality of
life and human development index. Good sanitary practices prevent
contamination of water and soil and thereby prevent diseases. The concept of
sanitation was, therefore, expanded to include personal hygiene, home
sanitation, safe water, garbage disposal, excreta disposal and waste water
disposal. The present research aim to study sanitation practices followed by
the household in the Kurnool city. For the study hygiene index was prepared
and household sanitation practices were assessing. The study result reveals
that households are following the hygiene practices in terms of defection and
handwashing habits, however the score is less in terms of water related
hygiene practices and domestic waste management.

INTRODUCTION

Health is a state of complete well being both physically and mentally.


A healthy person is one whose mind and body are completely fit. Hygiene
refers to habits or practices that ensure good health and a clean environment.
We consume a variety of foods everyday. Food is necessary for all living
[Link]/ she should be physically as well as mentally healthy. This demands
a hygienic condition. Health and hygiene are two correlated terms. Hygiene

5
can be defined as the practice of certain habits to maintain a good health. It
can be at the personal level (personal hygiene) and at the community level
(social hygiene).

Every individual dream of leading a healthy life. 7th April has been
declared as the World Health Day by the World Health Organization (WHO) in
view of creating awareness about the importance of health. To stay healthy, it
is important to understand the actual meaning of health and hygiene. Let us
learn more about [Link] maintain good health, overall. Maintenance of hygiene
can be at the community level (social hygiene) or personal level (personal
hygiene).

The WHO defines health as – “a complete state of physical, mental and


social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” That is
to say, a person cannot be termed healthy merely by being in a disease-free
state. Physical and mental health are equally important which necessitates a
hygienic condition. Health and hygiene are two terms that are correlated.
Hygiene can be outlined as the practice of a few habits in order

Good health is an asset for individuals, their communities and the


nation at large. A nation cannot progress without a healthy population. There
are large numbers of factors which affect our health. Some of these are
balanced food, clean water and clean environment which help to remain
healthy while others such as germs and stressful environment cause diseases
and disorders. In this lesson we will learn that good health implies both
physical and mental well being. It ,however, requires consistent efforts to
maintain good health, at both personal and community levels. This lesson
aims to guide you to live a healthy and positive life so that you can realize your
potential

Health – is defined as a State of being free from illness or injury.


HygieneConditions and Practices conducive to maintaining health and
preventing disease, especially through cleanliness.

Health and Hygiene are two essential concepts when it comes to the
human body. Health refers to the state of physically as well a mental well being. Health
also encompasses the social well being of an individual. Health is not just about being fit

6
but also having the appropriate resources to live. Having a sound body and mind is an
indication of good health.
Hygiene refers to maintaining good health through practices that focus
on cleanliness. Good Hygiene helps to prevent the spread of diseases and
illnesses. Hygiene and health go hand in hand. In today’s world, where
pollution levels are rising and numerous diseases emerging, good health and
Hygiene are a necessity

Health refers to a person’s overall well-being and focuses not just on


one’s physical state but the mental and social state as well. Physical fitness
refers to the bodily conditions and state of health with the absence of
diseases. Mental health is the well- being of a person’s psychological state,
which is free from mental illness and having good cognitive health. Social well
being is a person’s capability to form and maintain relationships in their lives.
The World Health Organization adds to this definition by stating that health
does not just refer to the objective of living but also resources for everyday life.
Having a sound body and mind constitutes good health.

Hygiene correlates to health. Hygiene refers to practices to ensure that we have good
health. These practices focus on cleanliness, clean environment and nutritious diets, all of
which are important to the human body personal and social hygiene help to protect our
bodies from illnesses. Building a robust immune system requires good health with proper
Hygiene.
Nutritious diet is a prerequisite to good health. A balanced diet involves
consuming different kinds of foods like fruits, vegetables, staples, legumes
and proteins. Fruits and vegetables contain minerals and vitamins that are
important for the body. Drinking fluids help to keep our bodies hydrated. They
flush out the toxins and make us stronger. Fats, oils and sugars provide us
with energy, but we must consume them in limited quantities. Some people
also include meat into their diet, which has sufficient protein. Dairy products
have calcium that helps strengthen bones. Washing fruits and cooking
vegetables before consumption is essential for Hygiene.

Pure drinking water keeps us hydrated and helps in the functioning of

7
our organs and removing toxins. Untreated and impure water causes many
diseases. Boiling water or adding purifying agents help to clean the water for
drinking.

Cleanliness is an essential hygienic practice towards being healthy.


Showering regularly and wearing clean clothes is one form of personal
Hygiene. Washing hands frequently, cutting nails, and brushing as well as
flossing are some ways through which we can have good personal Hygiene.

Keeping our surroundings neat and clean keeps us fit. We need to


ensure that water sources receive treatment. Contaminated water is the
breeding ground for many water-borne diseases like typhoid and cholera.
Proper sewage systems help to prevent this. Defecation in open places is very
unhygienic and unhealthy. Dumping garbage on the roads attracts many
insects which can be harmful to the surrounding. Adoption of proper garbage
disposal will help to reduce this problem. The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in India
is one such initiative to promote environmental Hygiene by promoting
adequate garbage disposal and aiming for a cleaner India..

Exercising regularly helps to keep us fit and prevent diseases. A healthy


and hygienic life helps to strengthen our body and make us immune to
diseases; by adopting healthy practices are not just benefit individuals but the
society as well. We need to spread awareness of hygienic practices. A healthy
community helps a nation grow more robust. Health is well in terms of
physical, social as well as mental aspects of a person. Having good health
helps us to function better. Being healthy helps us to fight against diseases
and make our bodies healthier. Hygiene refers to everyday practices to keep
ourselves healthy. These practices protect us from illnesses.

We must consume a healthy diet, balanced with different foods. Fruits


and vegetables have vital minerals and vitamins which we need. Drinking
fluids helps to remove all the toxins in our body. Pure drinking water helps to
keep us hydrated. We must cut down on junk food and eat protein-rich meals.

8
Milk makes our bones strong.
Washing fruits and cook vegetables before consuming them is vital.

Cleanliness is also necessary. Taking a bath regularly and wearing


clean clothes improves our Hygiene. Washing hands helps to keep germs
away. We must cut our nails when they grow long and brush and floss our
teeth every day. Exercising every day makes us healthy and fit. These
practices help to build our immune system.

Hygiene and good health also include keeping our surroundings clean.
We must dispose of garbage correctly and not throw it on the streets. Defecation on the
streets is highly unhygienic. We must adopt these practices not just to keep ourselves fit
but also for our society. we will soonly update Health and Hygiene Essay in Hindi, Kannada,
Tamil, Malayalam.
Health is about being physically, mentally and socially fit and active. A
healthy person is always ready to work in any situation. A healthy person is
more productive than an unhealthy person. The glow on his face reflects his
health. People also describe a healthy body as a body without any disease.
The health is the most critical factor to take care.

Our health is most responsible for how we are going to live in the future.
Our health does not include only physical fitness. It is also about mental and
social activeness. Bad health always brings bad luck for us.

Health is an essential part of our life. It affects our lives to the greatest
extent. Being healthy and active is always an advantage for us. A healthy
person enjoys life better than others. Being healthy refers to being physically,
mentally and socially active throughout the day. Physical health means the
health of our bodies. We can achieve physical health by regular exercise and
proper diet.

Mental and social activeness is equally necessary for us. Our various
emotions and our ability to deal with them imply our mental and social health.
Every one of us goes through many stresses daily. A mentally and socially

9
healthy person can easily cope with Good health is the need and desire of
every individual. A healthy life has become very rare in the current polluted
world. A healthy life is the result of routine exercise, a decent diet, and enough
meditation. A healthy body refers to a balanced body; neither an
underweighted nor an overweighted one.

An unbalanced body is an invitation to many dangerous diseases like


stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, Osteoporosis, Anemia, etc. Being
physically fit will bring the advantage of staying away from these diseases.
Our mood will also be cheerful and active all the time, and thus we can be an
inspiration for others.

We experience quick fatigue during illness. We feel like we don't have


energy. It is because of nutrition that our body lacks. A healthy body will
always remain energetic and active. It is also necessary to live a longer,
happier and blessed life. these problems and get rid as soon as possible.

Everyone should be serious about having good health. Our health


decides our future. It is the basic need if you want to have a delightful life.
There are many things that we should do to maintain a healthy life like
exercise, meditation, diet and proper knowledge of disease, etc. Apart from
'what to do', it is also important to know 'what not to do' for a healthy life.

We should never work for gaining weight. More than a balanced


bodyweight is always harmful to us. We should not have excessive use of
Mobile, TV or electronic gadgets. They are not suitable for our body, especially
for our eyes. We should not be dependent on them. Instead, we should prefer
to go outside and playing with friends in our free time. Playing outdoor games
is a way to stay healthy and active without extra effort.

Smoking, chewing tobacco and drinking alcoholic products are not


advisable. They will lead you to a drastic loss of health. Their immediate
pleasure is temporary, but the loss of health is permanent. We should neither
use them nor motivate others for it. We can obtain a healthy life only by
following routines and being strictly in the discipline.

10
Health is a very relatable topic for children. It plays a crucial role in the
physical and mental development of a child. They can shape their life by
maintaining their health at this stage of life. Providing a healthy life to children
is the liability of their parents.

The health of the children depends much on the awareness of their parents.

There are many factors that affect the health of an individual or the
entire family. Some of these factors are income & social status, education,
environment, culture, health facilities, etc. All of these factors hugely affect the
health of the people. In many cases, gender becomes an important factor in
deciding the health of people. The women in society struggle a lot in the
absence of all the required facilities.

There are some basic rules that we can follow to avoid health issues.
The first thing that we should work on is 'stress'. Stress is the mother of all
diseases. Though mental stress is natural and inevitable, holding it for a long
time can make us sick. We should avoid having mental stress for a long time.

Waking up early in the morning and having a walk can help you best in
your health. This is the only time we get the fresh air to breathe in. The
morning walk is like a whole-body exercise. It provides energy to work for the
complete day tirelessly. Being positive and social with your environment is
also helpful in keeping you healthy.

According to the World Health Organization, health is defined as “a


state of complete physical, social and mental well- being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity”.
Good health is more important than being free from disease. Healthy people are more
efficient, productive and live longer than unfit people. Important factors that contribute

to good health are:

1. Balanced Diet- To maintain a healthy life, one should take a proper well-

11
balanced diet with plenty of water.

2. Personal Hygiene- A person should live in a clean environment and must


follow good personal hygiene. There should be proper disposal of wastes. Clean

surroundings prevent the spread of diseases.


3. Regular Exercise- Along with good food and hygiene exercise is also very
important in maintaining good health. Regular exercise and good sleep help a

person to remain fit, stress-free, and active.

HYGIENE

The practices that we follow in our day-to-day lives to maintain good health
are known

as hygiene. This includes:

• Personal hygiene

• Community hygiene

Personal Hygiene- The following practices should be followed every day to


remain

Healthy:

• Washing hands before and after eating

• Regular toilet habits

• Cleaning teeth

• Bathing on a regular basis

• Wearing clean and comfortable clothes

• Drinking clean water

• Keeping house clean and insect free

12
• Cooking in clean utensils

Community Hygiene- The environment in which we live plays a very important


role
in keeping us healthy. The practices to keep our surroundings clean should include:

• Proper disposal of household wastes

• Cleaning of roads and streets

• Keeping house clean


• Covering dustbins

• Spraying insecticides at regular intervals to ward off insects

In modern times, it has become so important to take care of one’s health and
hygiene.

With the rising population levels, pollution levels, emission of harmful gases, it
has to be a priority for everyone to maintain their health and hygiene. The
health and hygiene essay guides you the different ways into which a person
should be aware of his/her health.

For the human body, health is a positive state where every part of the mind
and body is in harmony. Additionally, it is also functioning and balancing the

13
other parts. Thus, in other words, when all parts of the body are functioning
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.
According to WHO, health is a state of complete mental, spiritual, physical,
and social well being and not only the absence of disease. If a person is in a
good physical state and free from any diseases but is under constant stress,
greed, tension, anger, etc, then that person is not healthy.

Hygiene refers to good practices and rituals that prevent diseases and leads
to good health. Thus, it mainly includes proper sewage disposal, cleanliness,
and safe drinking water supply. So, it includes all the activities that are done
for preserving and improving as well as maintaining sound health.

STEPS TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH


1. Enjoy de-stressing.

Experts recommend regular exercise, meditation and breathing techniques to


reduce stress. But even something as simple — and enjoyable — as listening to soothing
music, reading a good book, soaking in a hot tub or playing with your pet can help you
relax.
That's advice you should take to heart because prolonged stress can cause or
exacerbate a number of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, high
blood pressure, depression, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines and
obesity.

Don't have a lot of time? Don't let that stress you out. As with exercise, even
brief periods of relaxation are beneficial.

Spending even 10 minutes at a time doing something you enjoy can go a long
way toward beating the stressors of everyday life. Just reading one chapter or taking your
dog for a few laps around the block will help you feel calmer, more refreshed and more
energized.
If you can't take a full break from whatever you're doing, try simply taking a

14
few slow, deep breaths in that moment. When you slow down your breathing,
it helps you relax. This relaxation response releases body chemicals that
relieve stress and may improve immune function.

Deep breathing can also lower your resting heart rate. People with lower
resting heart rates are typically in better physical condition than those with
higher rates.

2. Put away the salt.

A saltshaker on the dining table makes it all too easy to consume excess salt,
which can lead to high blood pressure. So put the shaker in a cabinet or pantry
and bring it out only when you're cooking.

It's also a good idea to taste your food before you salt it. You may find it
doesn't need more.

You can also try spicing up your food with lemon or lime juice, garlic, red
pepper flakes, herbs or a salt-free seasoning blend. Stock your fridge and
pantry with your favorite fresh and dried herbs so you'll always have them on
hand to flavor your foods.

3. Get to bed earlier.

Most of us don’t get the seven or more hours of sleep adults need.

Over time, a shortage of shut-eye can raise your risk of a heart attack or stroke
— regardless of your age, weight or exercise habits.

If you're consistently sleep-deprived, going to bed even 15 minutes earlier


every night could help. Also set a regular sleep and wake schedule, and stick
to it — even on days off.

4. Have a glass of red wine.

Studies have shown that the powerful antioxidants found in red wine protect
against heart disease, colon cancer, anxiety and depression. So unless there
is a medical reason why you shouldn't imbibe, go ahead and enjoy that glass

15
of merlot with your nightly meal — you can even toast to your good health.

But drink in moderation. Just as a small amount of red wine has health
benefits, too much alcohol — even red wine — can cause a variety of health
problems, including liver and kidney disease and cancer.

Women, in particular, need to be careful about alcohol consumption. They are


at higher overall risk of liver problems than men, so they are more likely to
experience liver problems from smaller amounts of alcohol.

For a healthy man, two drinks a day is not likely to do harm; women, on the
other hand, should limit themselves to one daily alcoholic beverage.

5. Check your posture and ergonomics.

Next time you're at your desk or on the phone, take a moment to think about
your posture. Then straighten up your back, tuck in your stomach and put your
feet flat on the floor with your legs uncrossed. You'll feel more relaxed right
away.

The few seconds this takes can help you avoid back pain, one of the most
common health problems in the United States and a leading cause of
disability.

And if you work at a computer, look at the ergonomics of your workstation —


how you fit and move in your environment — to help prevent back and neck
strain, carpal tunnel syndrome, eye strain and other occupational injuries.

A few simple adjustments, such as repositioning your computer monitor,


switching to a chair that provides more low back support and taking regular
breaks throughout the day to do stretching exercises, can go a long way
toward creating a healthier and more comfortable workspace.

6. Do a crossword puzzle.

16
Researchers at Rush have found that mentally challenging activities, such as
reading, doing crossword puzzles or Sodoku and playing chess, may have a protective
effect on your brain.
According to research studies, regularly engaging your mind may help lower
your risk for the dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Don't enjoy puzzles or games? Don't worry: There are other ways to maintain
your brain health. Eat with your nondominant hand. Walk a new route home
from work. And connect with others — staying socially engaged may also
protect against dementia.

7. Weigh in.

Maintaining a healthy weight can lower your risk for heart disease, stroke and
some types of cancer. But for women, there’s another reason to keep pounds
from piling on:
It will decrease the risk for future pelvic floor disorders.
Pelvic floor disorders are more common in women who have delivered babies
vaginally. However, a recent study found that even women who have never
had a vaginal birth are at increased risk for urinary stress incontinence if
they're overweight or obese.

8. Make a few dietary substitutions.


• Swap white bread, rice, crackers and pasta for healthier whole grain versions.

• Use skinless chicken and turkey in your recipes instead of skin-on, and leaner
cuts of other meats such as beef or pork.

• Replace one sugary drink (soda, juice, etc.) each day with a tall glass of water.

• If you get hungry between meals, snack on a handful of almonds or cashews, a


piece of whole fruit, or carrot sticks dipped in hummus rather than reaching for
candy bars or potato chips.
In addition, try incorporating an extra serving of no starchy vegetables into
your daily diet.
Want a snack? Munch on a carrot instead of a cookie. Making dinner for your
family? Serve broccoli or spinach as a side dish instead of mashed potatoes.

17
Add green peas to your brown rice, or slices of red or yellow pepper to your
sandwich.

It's no secret that vegetables — especially dark, leafy greens — are good for
you. But there's another benefit to packing more veggies into your daily diet: They're rich in
fiber and contain lots of water, so they'll leave you full and satisfied without a lot of
calories and fat.
There are plenty of great recipes in cookbooks and online for tasty yet
healthful veggie dishes. 9. Take the stairs.

The next time you're going to a higher floor, bypass the elevator and climb the
stairs instead. You'll get your blood pumping, exercise your lungs and work the
muscles in your lower body.

It’s a great way to add physical activity to your day without having to block out
time to exercise. If you are aiming for the recommended 10,000 steps each
day, taking the stairs counts toward that total.

All of these small steps can add up to a healthier you.

10. Stretch it out.

Regularly stretching your muscles helps you avoid injuries, stay limber and
move freely as you age.
Take a few minutes to stretch out before and after you exercise. If you aren't
working out that day, take a few stretch breaks. Find a quiet space in the
office where you won't be disturbed. On the go? Look for natural opportunities
in your daily routine to stretch, such as getting out of your car or reaching for
items on a high shelf at the store.

Stretching right before bed can also help you relieve tension and help you get
to sleep.

Steps to improve your Hygiene

18
Following are the steps to Improve Your Hygiene

• Take a bath every day. When we play or sweat, dust particles adhere to
our skin. These dust particles attract bacteria that cause sickness.
Bathing on a daily basis keeps harmful bacteria at bay.

• Before and after each meal, wash your hands. When we play, germs
from the earth and mud are transmitted to our hands and can enter our
bodies, causing sickness.

• Take care of our teeth by brushing twice a day and flossing on a regular
basis
to eliminate food particles that have been trapped or caught between our teeth and are
difficult to remove.

Regularly trim your nails. Maintain clean, lice-free hair.

Maintain excellent eye and ear health. Avoid reading in low-light situations, and cleanse
your eyes with cold water on a frequent basis.

Always keep our surroundings clean. Garbage should be disposed of in bins, and
water should not be collected in drums or buckets since it serves as a breeding
ground for mosquitoes.

CONCLUSIONS
The health and hygiene are the two factors that plays an important role
in human's life. The life span of human beings is mostly based on the
individual's health.

The health is maintained by taking hygienic food at proper interval of


time. The morality rate can be decreased if the person consume only hygienic
food and maintain his health in good condition. This is because, most of the
food items acts as medicines for certain diseases. Thus, being healthy and
consuming hygienic food is essential.

Good personal hygiene is one of the best ways to protect oneself from
getting illnesses. Maintaining good personal hygiene will also help prevent you
from spreading diseases to other people. Good hygiene lowers a person’s risk
for diseases and illnesses commonly spread through viruses and bacteria.
