Greetings!
As we all know that cleanliness is next to Godliness, I think we should as a matter of fact live a more hygienic and neat life so as for us to be closer to God our maker through our neatness.
Aside from us being closer to God, cleanliness is one way of life that helps us live a healthy life. If people can or are living a hygienic life, then nothing like infirmity or disease will come near our dwellings.
But because of the way we live our lives, we are now exposed to bacterias and viruses in our various homes, being in the kitchen or toilets and our environments which thereby is causing a series of life threatening diseases, infirmities and infections. Which is somehow pathetic.
However, ever since I have realized that it's our dirtiness that's affecting us and making us fall sick and also taking people's lives abruptly, I have decided to always live a hygienic life which would be free from all dirtiness and uncleanliness.
So, to start with, the first thing I have decided to do in order to live a hygienic life is to always wash my hands. Hand washing to me doesn't just come to me like that, but as a result of the infection I contracted after using the toilet. Some time ago, I used the toilet and I didn't wash my hands before eating, which eventually infected me with a life -threatening infection through bacteria.
Although I got healed, I have always followed the doctor's instructions of always washing my hands before and after using public or even private surfaces and this has really helped me.
Furthermore, another way through which I maintain my hygienic living is to always clean all the surfaces in my home. Ever since I got to know that all these surfaces are the habitation of bacteria, I have always make sure I clean all the surfaces both the woody and metal surfaces and this I do always just to prevent bacteria and other germs infections.
Also, before using any of my kitchen utensils, I always make sure I clean them thoroughly even after I might have washed them and placed them all in a clean dry place, reason being that we mostly get infested with what we take in and for this reason, I'm always cautious of what goes down into my stomach and that's why it's always difficult for me to eat outside.
In addition, there are other things I do always to always stay healthy. These things have been my normal daily and weekly routines.
The first is taking my bath twice a day, brushing my teeth twice a day, maintaining general cleaning of the compound by cleaning the drainages and gutter, washing of the toilet on a daily basis, unblocking the blocked pipelines, washing of my clothes and underwears, eating good and balanced diets and most importantly going for medical checkups.
Thanks for reading.
