What is personal Hygiene

Personal hygiene may be described as the principle of maintaining cleanliness and grooming
of the external body. People have been aware of the importance of hygiene for thousands of
years. The acient Greeks spent many hours Bathing, using fragrances and make up in an
effort to beautify themselves and be presentable to others.

Poor Personal Hygien

Failure to keep up a standard of hygiene can have many implications. Not only is there an
increased risk of getting an infection or illness, but there are many social and psyhological
aspects that can be affected.

Poor Personal Hygiene , in relation to preventing the spread of disease is paramount in

preventing epidemic or even pandemic outbreaks. To engage in some very basic measures
could help prevent many coughs and colds from being passed from person to person.

Social Embarrassment

Social aspects can be affected, as many people would rather alienate themselves from
someone who has bad personal hygiene than to tell them how they could improve. Bullies
may use bad personal hygiene as a way of abusing their victims, using social embarrassment
as a weapon.

Poor person hygiene can have significant implications on the success of job applications or
the chance of promotion ; no company wants to be represented by someone who does not
appear to be able to look after themselves. Many sufferers of mental illnesses like dementia
or depression may need extra support and encouragement with their personal hygiene. Their
careres should make sure that they have everything they need and assist them when permitted
and when possible.

Children And Personal Hygiene

Children should be taught the importance of hygiene as early as possible, with Oral Care,
washing, toilet hygiene and hair care being taught as part of everyday routines. Singing songs
or making a game out of the avtivities will help to ensure that they enjoy looking after
themselves. Bath time can provide an ideal opportunity for spending quality time together,
and for teaching about the importance of cleanliness. Toys such as dolls can be used to
educate children in correct bathing techniques.

Food Hygiene

Probably the most important aspect of all, food hygiene is very closely associated with
personal hygiene. Poor personal cleansing can have a very significant effect on the start and
spread of many illnesses through contact with nutritional cosumables, some that can be
potentially lethal.

Aspects of Personal Hygiene

There are many contributory factors that make up personal hygiene with the main ones being
washing, oral care, hair care, nail care, wound care, cleansing of personal utensils and
Preventing Infection.

Personal hygiene is as it says, personal. Everybody has their own habits and standards that
they habe been taught or that they have learnt from others. It is essentially the promotion and
continuance of good health.
