Prevention is better than cure. That is one of the principle healthcare workers live everyday. And by that principle, it only means that we should take good care of our one and only body and try to stay healthy as much as possible. You can do so by promoting proper hygiene.

The hair can be a tough place to start when it comes to promoting hygiene. Usually the hair is where all the infestation and the dandruff comes from so, to prevent that from happening, clean your hair by lavishing on shampoo and rinsing it with water everyday.

The skin can get infected at times but it is also the first line of defense against these infections so it is very important that we take good care of our skin. Clean up your entire body by taking a bath everyday and apply some moisturizer to help keep the skin intact.

Brush your teeth after every meal. The same thing goes with flossing. Dental floss can help remove the food that get stuck in between the teeth and prevent the formation of plaque and later on toothdecay.

Learn proper handwashing to prevent the spread of disease inside your home. Gather the entire family and teach them to wash their hands after they have gone out of the house or even before handling food.

For women who have their monthly period, it is tough to stay clean after all those mess from within so be sure to throw those sanitary pads in the trash bin and not everywhere else.

For men who sweat a lot, try to apply deodorant or take a bath after such physical and rigorous activity. When sweat dries, it releases a foul smell that can be offending to others so do try to stick with your hygiene regimen.

Proper hygiene should be practiced every single minute of everyday. Not only will you be preventing deadly diseases from happening, you are also saving countless dollars from hospitalization and other medical bills.
