7 important principles in body hygiene

A clean body is also the secret to preventing you from getting sick. In order to be like that, you should not ignore the hygiene rules as below.

1. Brush your teeth at least 2 times a day

Brushing teeth bright and dark is a must, but in addition, during the day, after eating, if you need to, brush your teeth. However, you need to remember not to brush your teeth immediately after eating, but wait about 30 minutes to avoid acid erosion. Tooth brushing helps reduce plaque, bacteria on teeth, prevents the formation of tartar, causing tooth decay. Moreover, this is also effective in preventing bad breath odor.

2. Floss daily

In addition to brushing your teeth, flossing is also essential. Flossing also reduces bacteria in the mouth and removes food that sticks to the teeth causing bacteria. In many cases, brushing your teeth does not remove bacteria from the teeth but dentistry can help you do this, so that your teeth are healthier.

3. Wash your face daily

Not washing much face is good. You only need to wash your face when necessary (morning, evening or when you go out .). Excessive washing of your face can make your skin lose mucus, and the skin epidermis is also affected, resulting in reduced body protection. When washing your face, pay attention to cleaning the "nooks" on your face like the corners of your mouth, eye sockets . to remove all the dirt and germs that reside in it.

4. Don't wash your hair too hard

Shampooing is what you need to do to keep your hair clean. Clean hair is not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a necessary condition to remove dandruff in the hair, reduce scalp condition, and in the long run will lead to itching or scalp inflammation. Just like the face, you do not need to scratch your head too hard when washing to avoid scalp damage, easy to invade germs that cause head fungus.

5. Keep your hands clean

Washing your hands after going to the bathroom, after eating or after coming into contact with objects at high risk of infection, is essential. Hand washing is one of the most effective ways to prevent infection because if your hands spread germs, bacteria will enter your body very quickly because your hands often touch your face and skin.

6. Bathe daily

Many people believe that it is not necessary to bathe when the body does not sweat, no body odor . But this is not true. Even if your body does not smell bad, after a day of activity and activity, dirt still clings to your skin. Moreover, in one day, some skin cells also die and collect on the skin. If you don't bathe to remove dead skin with dirt, it increases the risk of germs that cause dermatitis.

Moreover, daily bathing also helps muscles relax to relieve stress, depression. According to many scientific studies, bathing can increase the amount of white blood cells in the blood, indirectly improve the body's immunity and help circulate blood better.

7. Clean "enclosed areas" with clean water

Usually, in the vaginal environment there is a balance between good bacteria and bad bacteria. When that balance is broken due to overgrowth of bad bacteria, you will have gynecological diseases. Therefore, keeping the "private area" hygienic is essential.

In order to keep the 'private area' hygienic, women should wear cool underwear, always dry and clean daily with clean water. In the 'red light' days, women should change sanitary pads within 4-6 hours to limit the growth of bacteria in the vagina. You should change tampons and clean the vagina many times during your period.

In addition, you should note some other hygiene rules as follows:

- Cover your mouth when sneezing: This is not only polite behavior but also helps to avoid spreading the disease to healthy people (in case you are suffering from a disease).

- Cut your nails: Cut and clean your nails and toenails at least once a week or when your nails are long. Long fingernails and toenails will allow bacteria and germs to "hide" under their nails and increase their risk of harm to health if they accidentally enter the body by touching food with their hands.
