Physical health and hygiene Physical well-being is the best form of security one can have. Our physical health is one barometer of physical strength and endurance under stress. The maintenance of good physical health is attained through physical hygiene. Physical hygiene is the maintenance of personal cleanliness and sanitation of the body. Daily body cleanliness consists of daily bath, daily elimination habits, 2 liters of drinking water, rest, and sleep. Air free from pollution and sunshine are also important. A daily well-balanced diet will enhance the skin, brain, hair, and eyes.

Physical health and hygiene - Brain The brain belongs to the central nervous system. The automobile will not perform without the engine, just as the brain will not function without the CNS. Take note that quality output from the machine can only be achieved through care and maintenance of the machine. When we invest in our brain, we invest in our life as well.

Physical health and hygiene - Brain Provide the brain with good food, enough sleep, fresh air, exercise, relaxation and positive outlook.

Physical health and hygiene – hands, legs and feet If your hands are not the ‘hands you love to hold’, then you must spend a little extra time on them each day. Your nails should not be too long and not ruggedly bitten. Legs should be free from superfluous hair. There is nothing more unsightly than a grown lady wearing stockings with long hair poking out. The daily care for the feet should include bathing for cleanliness. Avoid corns, and callous by wearing correct and comfortable shoes.

grooming Good grooming means appropriate clothes on the appropriate occasions, besides being neat and clean in every detail is necessary when it comes to clothing and the self.
