How to maintain good personal hygiene

Good hygiene practices are important to prevent catching or spreading diseases,  Practicing good hygiene habits can also make you feel better about yourself and your body. It's not difficult to take good care of yourself, it just requires making new habits for self-care. Many hygienic practices are the same for men and women. It's a good idea to teach children good cleanliness habits early on in life.

Step 1
Wash your hands often. Hands should be washed before and after eating, before preparing
 food, and after using the bathroom. You should also wash your hands after handling
pets or pet items like drinking bowls or pet beds.

Step 2
Shower or bathe regularly. You should also shampoo your hair as often as necessary. For
 some this is daily, while others should wash hair a few times a week depending on hair
 type and level of physical activity.

Step 3
Brush your teeth after meals and before bed. Floss teeth daily as well, and use a fluoride
 mouthwash, if desired.

Step 4
Change your clothes daily. Take special care to change your underwear at least once
daily, or more often if needed.

Step 5
Apply deodorant to your armpits. Deodorant can be used daily or only before vigorous
 activity, such as working out. You can purchase deodorant by itself, or in combination
with antiperspirants. Deodorants are available in sprays or roll-on varieties.
