Now that the entire nation, including our government is talking about a cleaner environment, it’s safe to assume that hygiene - both personal and environmental, needs to be looked at with greater detail. Living a fast-paced lifestyle that’s mostly spent running between meetings and trying to meet deadlines, we often tend to ignore the most basic of things, cleanliness being one of the casualties. We throw things on the road, spit out on the street, don’t bother keeping our homes clean and forget washing our own hands before sitting down to eat. As a result, we’re now living in a nation that’s full of people falling ill all the time thanks to poor hygiene everywhere. It’s an epidemic we must learn to fight now, for any later and it’ll be too late.
As many wise men have said many times before, health indeed is the real wealth. If we’re not healthy, we’re unable to enjoy any other kind of wealth we may possess. To fully reap the benefits of our hard work, we have to ensure we stay in good health. And good health is as much about hitting the gym as it is about staying clean from the outside and inside. Maintaining a high level of personal hygiene in and around us is our responsibility and the best part is that we don’t have to do a lot for it either. All it takes are a few simple things starting with placing hygiene as one of our top priorities.
Start with being conscious of the litter around us. From bags and bottles to household waste, we all need to make sure that nothing is thrown on the road, out of the window or anywhere else. The only place for these things is a dustbin! We also need to make sure to not spit tobacco or any other such thing on the road. Actually, not chewing tobacco would be the most ideal thing to do. Regularly cleaning not just our homes but our gardens and the area surrounding our house is also necessary. And those of you, who have pets, make sure to keep them in check too.
Apart from the outside, keeping ourselves clean from the inside is equally important. Washing our hands regularly is one such step as our hands are one of the biggest germ carriers around us, and without realizing it we’re actually letting germs enter our body by not keeping our hands clean. Use a good anti-bacterial bar soap or liquid soapsuch as Dettol to clean hands before meals and after you’ve done any major activity with your hands.
Be conscious of hygiene, keep yourself clean from the outside and inside and don’t forget to keep a watch on your surroundings. Cleanliness is definitely next to Godliness!
