Good personal hygiene is the best way to prevent disease (2 of 2)

Good personal hygiene consists largely of the following measures, which become instinctive and easy to do when converted into habits:

• Washing of hands with soap and water before eating, or rubbing or touching the nose or eyes.
• Using the toilet for urinating and defecating.
• Washing of the anus with soap and water after defecating.
• Washing of hands after using the toilet.
• Taking a bath daily.
• Washing of fruits before eating them.
• Non-intake of food from ambulant vendors and other doubtful sources.
• Brushing of teeth after meals.
• Regular wearing of slippers or shoes.
• Non-use of other people’s personal things.
• Regular trimming of nails and cleaning of ears.

Incidentally, personal hygiene, aside from preventing diseases, also contributes to good looks and builds self-confidence. - manilabulletin
