IMPORTANCE OF HYGIENE IN FOOD HABITS

We have heard the word hygiene many times; in fact, right from childhood, it is imprinted in our memories. What does hygiene actually mean? It means practices that are important for maintaining good health and preventing diseases by maintaining cleanliness.

The most commonly practiced hygiene habits are:

Brushing twice a day, one in the morning and at night before going to bed for maintaining dental health.

Washing hands properly after going to the toilet.

Wearing clean and fresh clothes.

Keep your mouth covered during coughing or sneezing.

We do pamper our taste buds occasionally by enjoying street foods and start with we cannot miss on Pani-puri, make sure that the person serving has a cap on his head and gloves on his hands.

Please do not use the same towel or handkerchiefs; this is likely to cause the spread of germs or bacteria easily.

Changing bed sheets regularly

Do not use a common towel to dry the body after bathing.

The list is never-ending, however these are some of the points which we can always implement from our end and take care and avoid unnecessary health issues.
