organism's cells in an effort to produce
energy, maintain life, or stimulate

handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways
that prevent foodborne illness. This includes a
number of routines that should be followed to avoid
potentially severe health hazards.
Food can transmit disease from person to person as
well as serve as a growth medium for bacteria that
can cause food poisoning.

PERSONAL HYGIENE
One of the most effective ways we have to protect
ourselves and others from illness is good
personal hygiene. This means washing your
hands, especially, but also your body. It means
being careful not to cough or sneeze on others,
cleaning things that you touch if you are unwell,
putting items such as tissues (that may have
germs) into a bin, and using protection (like
gloves or condoms) when you might be at risk
of catching an infection.

PERSONAL HYGIENE TIPS :
• Bath regularly
• Brush your mouth twice a day
• Put on clean clothes, wash and dry dirty ones
• Cut your nails low because of germs
• Wash fruits before eating
• Wash hands regularly
• Don’t leave food open

PERSONAL HYGIENE ISSUES:
1. Body odour :
Body smells are caused by a number of factors
working in combination, including:
Chemicals in sweat, which are made by the body
and sexually attract (or repel) other people.
Wastes excreted through the skin
The actions of bacteria that live on the skin and
feed on dead skin cells and sweat.
Unwashed clothes, such as underwear and socks.

PERSONAL HYGIENE ISSUES:
2. Bad breath:
Good dental hygiene includes regular brushing and
flossing. Bad breath can be caused by diseases of
the teeth, gums and mouth, such as infections. Most
people have bad breath first thing in the morning
because saliva is not made while you’re asleep.
Some foods that can cause bad breath include
garlic and onion. Mouth washes, mouth sprays and
flavoured chewing gum can make your breath smell
better for a while, but if you have a health problem
in your mouth, you need to see your dentist.
Where to get help :
Your doctor , Dentist.

HAND WASHING:
Most infections, especially colds are caught when we put
our unwashed hands, which have germs on them, to our
mouth. Some infections are caught when other people’s
dirty hands touch the food we eat. Hands and wrists
should be washed with clean soap and water, using a
brush if your fingernails are dirty. Dry your hands with
something clean, such as paper towels or hot air dryers.
You should always wash your hands:
• After using the toilet
• Before making or eating food
• After handling dogs or other animals
• If you have been around someone who is coughing or has
a cold.

THINGS TO REMEMBER :
Good personal hygiene is one of the most
effective ways to protect ourselves and others
from many illnesses, such as gastroenteritis.
(resulting in some combination of diarrhea,
vomiting, and abdominal pain and cramping)
Wash your hands regularly, especially before
preparing or eating food and after going to the
toilet.
