10 REASONS FOR PERSONAL HYGIENE

-



PERSONAL HYGIENE
Proper personal hygiene means taking care of every aspect of your body, from keeping it clean to looking your best. Basic hygiene should be taught to children at an early age to help establish good habits. Parents can reinforce good hygienic behavior by creating routines and being good role models. Personal hygiene practices include bathing, washing your hands, keeping your hair clean and brushing your teeth. Your personal, social and professional worlds are all affected by hygiene habits.

10 REASONS FOR PERSONAL HYGIENE
Disease Prevention
Wash your hands often to prevent the spread of disease. Each time you use the restroom, wash your hands before leaving the area to remove germs. Wash your hands before you handle food, eat or take out contact lenses.
Nice Smile
Most people want to keep their teeth and have attractive smiles. This requires frequent brushing and good dental habits. If you fail to brush your teeth, they are more likely to become discolored, get cavities and possibly fall out. According to the American Academy of Period-ontology, regular brushing and flossing can significantly decrease the risk of gum disease, which can cause bad breath or even worse—tooth loss.
Lower Health Care Costs
Since it curbs the spread of disease, good hygiene results in lower health care costs. Brushing your teeth and keeping clean could eliminate unnecessary visits to your dentist and doctor, saving you money.
Dandruff Prevention
Good hygiene includes washing your hair and brushing it regularly to prevent dandruff and other scalp diseases. It's embarrassing when you glance down at your dark shirt and see white skin flakes that everyone else has probably already noticed.
Self-Esteem
When you're clean, you'll feel much better about yourself than when you're dirty. People will react more positively to you, which will also help raise your self-esteem.
Sex Appeal
You are more likely to appeal to a potential partner if you practice good hygiene. Dirty hair, discolored teeth and bad breath can keep you from having romance in your life.
Social Acceptance
Good hygiene is critical for social acceptance, because most people don't want to be around others who are dirty or smelly. Children who practice good hygiene eliminate one major reason for other kids to make fun of or bully them. It's sad to see someone on the playground getting taunted for smelling bad or having dirty hair.
Professional Acceptance
Most employers prefer employees who are clean and well-groomed. Good hygiene can make the difference in being hired and getting promotions.
Being a Role Model
Parents should set an example for their children by practicing good hygiene. Children are more likely to do what you do than what you say.
Pain Prevention
Periodontal disease can cause chronic mouth pain in advanced stages, the American Academy of Period-ontology reports. The main cause of gum disease is plaque buildup, which can be reduced with proper oral hygiene.

MENSTRUATION AND MENSTRUAL PAINS

-
It’s good to have you here. My name is Olivia Onyemaobi, I am a community health advocate with menstruation and its management as my focal point. I will be using the simplest terms, so you ma not be hearing things like definitions So, how does menstruation start? Every month, the walls of the uterus get thicker, preparing your body for conception. The uterus is where the baby stays when conceived in a woman, so if eventually the person doesn't sleep with a man during ovulation, the thickened walls which are tissues like will be shed off in the form of blood through the vagina. This keep happening every month, and any month the girl/woman has sexual intercourse with a man during ovulation, pregnancy will occur, but when not, you will still shed the tissues off as period So if one is menstruating for the first year, the period may not be regular, it may sometimes cease for 2-3months, then reappears. This also happens when a woman is going into menopause for the first...

WHY GIRLS MENSTRUATE! (LET’S KNOW MORE ABOUT MENSTRUATION)

Puberty and Periods Menstruation (a period) is a major stage of puberty in girls. It's one of the many physical signs that a girl is turning into a woman. Menstruation can be confusing, just like a lot of the other changes that come with puberty. Some girls can't wait to start their periods. Others may feel afraid or anxious. Many girls (and most guys!) don't have a complete understanding of a woman's reproductive system or what actually happens during the menstrual cycle. That can make the process seem even more mysterious. Girls usually start to go through puberty between the ages of 8 and 13. Their bodies and minds change in many ways. Hormones kick off changes like growth and breast development. About 2 to 2½ years after a girl's breasts begin to develop, she usually gets her first menstrual period. About 6 months or so before getting her first period, a girl might notice an increased amount of clear vaginal discharge. This discharge is comm...
