SURVEY REPORT
-Group 1
INTRODUCTION
In this report we would be talking about the topic personal
hygiene. What is personal hygiene, How personal hygiene is
very important and essential in one’s life etc.
WHAT IS IT ?
Dental
Dental hygiene involves more than just having white teeth. A
good dental hygiene routine can help prevent issues such
as gum disease and cavities. It can also prevent bad breath.
2
Body
Several million sweat glands cover the human body. When
bacteria break down sweat, the process creates a smell or body
odour.
Washing the body will help prevent skin irritation, as well as
removing the bacteria that cause body odour Washing the hair
removes oil and keeps a person looking clean and fresh.
Hand washing
Regular hand washing is one of the best ways to avoid
spreading communicable diseases.
before, during, and after preparing food
before eating food
before and after looking after anyone who is vomiting or
has diarrhea
before and after treating a cut or wound
after going to the bathroom
after changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has used
the toilet
after blowing the nose, coughing, or sneezing
after touching garbage or dirty surfaces or objects
after handling pets or pet-related items, such as food
Nails
Fingernails may harbour dirt and germs, contributing to the
spread of bacteria. It is easier for dirt and germs to collect
3
under longer nails, so keeping them short can help reduce the
risk of spreading infections.
Dental hygiene
For a healthy mouth and smile, the American dental
organisation(ADA) recommend brushing the teeth for 2
minutes at least twice a day — once before breakfast and once
before bed.
People should use an ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste and
replace the toothbrush every 3–4 months. The ADA also advise
people to floss daily.
Hand washing
1. Wet the hands with clean, running water, then turn off the
tap and apply soap.
2. Lather the hands by rubbing them together with the soap,
remembering to reach the backs of the hands, between the
fingers, and under the nails.
3. Scrub the hands for at least 20 seconds, which a person
can time by humming the “Happy Birthday” song twice.
4. Rinse the hands well under clean, running water.
5. Dry the hands using a clean towel or air dry them.
4
Body
It is advisable to shower or bathe daily, using soap and water to
rinse away dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria. People can pay
special attention to areas that accumulate more sweat, such as
the armpits, in between the toes, and the groin area.
They should also wash their hair with shampoo at least once a
week, or more if necessary. Applying deodorant when fully dry
can help prevent body odours.
Nails
Using sanitized tools to trim the nails and keep them short is
one of the best ways to ensure that no dirt can collect
underneath them.
Scrubbing the underside of the nails with a nail brush can form
part of a person’s hand washing routine.
5
For example, they can start using toothpaste to brush a child’s
teeth when they reach the age of 12 MONTHS. When the gaps
between a child’s teeth close, it is important to start flossing.
Encouraging children to help clean themselves as soon as they
are old enough is a good way to instigate a proper personal
hygiene routine.
6
Negative effects of poor personal hygiene
Poor hygiene is a sensitive topic, and talking to a person about
it can be difficult. As a result, a person with poor personal
hygiene could become isolated from other people.
Poor personal hygiene can be particularly problematic in the
food industry.
There are also many health implications of having poor
personal hygiene, with the CDC listing the following as
hygiene-related diseases:
athlete’s foot
body lice
chronic diarrhea
tooth decay
head lice
hot tub rash
pinworms
pubic lice
scabies
swimmer’s ear
ringworm
7
Make it a habit: With daily practice, a new habit can
become a regular part of life. Choose one area to focus on
and practice until it becomes second nature.
Set reminders: Using the notes app on a cell phone can
be a great way to avoid forgetting any tasks.
Use rewards: A sticker chart can be a brilliant incentive
for children to maintain their personal hygiene.
Invest in nice toiletries: Using products that smell good
may encourage some people to stick to their personal
hygiene routine.
SUMMARY
Keeping the body clean has positive effects on a person’s
social life and their physical and mental health.
Personal hygiene is simply looking after the body and keeping
it clean and healthy.
Developing and maintaining a personal hygiene routine is key
to having a healthy body and mind.

of looking good for others, your

Health And Hygiene Essay
For the human body, health is a positive state where every
part of the mind and body is in harmony. Additionally, it is
also functioning and balancing the other parts. Thus, in other
words, when all parts of the body are functioning well, this
physical well-being state of the human body is called health.
It is well said and proved that a healthy person is someone
who has a sound body and a sound mind. Health is one of the
characteristics of life that helps a person live longer.
According to WHO, health is a state of complete mental,
spiritual, physical, and social well-being and not only the
59
absence of disease. If a person is in a good physical state
and free from any diseases but is under constant stress,
greed, tension, anger, etc, then that person is not healthy.
Hygiene refers to good practices and rituals that prevent
diseases and leads to good health. Thus, it mainly includes
proper sewage disposal, cleanliness, and safe drinking water
supply. So, it includes all the activities that are done for
preserving and improving as well as maintaining sound
health.
