Body hygiene
The rules of personal hygiene and the observance of general hygiene requirements are not only an integral part of a healthy lifestyle, but also an indicator of the general culture of a person. Not only your health, but also the health of those around you at home and at work depends on compliance with these requirements.
Body hygiene includes daily care for the skin of the body and hands, hair and oral cavity. Maintaining clean skin is a daily water treatment that prevents the appearance of unpleasant odors. But, if you need to take a shower every day, the use of washcloths can be limited to 1-2 times a week. After intense physical labor or exercise, souls are a must. Feet with soap should be washed every day. Wear rubber slippers on your feet in the pool, bath and sauna to protect against fungal infections.
It is especially important to monitor the cleanliness of the hands and nails, since it is here that the largest number of bacteria accumulate. Be sure to wash your hands after visiting public places and the toilet, contact with animals, before eating. If there is no water, use special wet wipes soaked in disinfectant formulations. Nails should always be well-groomed and neatly trimmed.
Teeth and plaque in the tongue should be brushed daily twice a day - morning and evening before bedtime. After eating, rinse your mouth and use dental floss to remove food debris left between your teeth. Once a year, you must visit the dentist for the prevention and surgical treatment.
Hair should be washed as it becomes dirty, using detergents specially selected for the type of hair. The haircut needs to be “renewed” at least once every two months, and those who have long hair should regularly cut their ends so that they do not split.
