If there is an important lifestyle to embrace by everyone, then it's hygiene and sanitation, which are very vital. It doesn't matter how rich or poor you are, no! Everyone can actually practice this without limitations or excuses, unless you are among the set of people that has the mentality that dirt doesn't kill.
You know, when you mix with certain individuals, you may find out that their mentality towards cleanliness is just so odd and baffling. I was opportune to observe a friend and a customer make doughnuts, the ones she usually sells every morning in her shop, and surprisingly, I have been eating nonsense unaware. My God!!... on the large chopping board where she rolls and mixes her chops, you could see decayed debris hanging by the corners; the bowl she uses to scoop water and mix egg and whatever is like something they picked from the shrine, so dirty and disgusting.
I mean, isn't it clear enough that dirt attracts germs and is unhealthy? That's by the way, but that's my end of patronage to her. At least I was privileged to see her unhygienic practice, but what about other people I buy edibles from that I am not aware of their level of hygiene? No wonder some persons wouldn't eat anything outside except in a trusted mall where hygiene speaks visibly.
The thing is that a lot of diseases can be prevented by some hygiene practices and sanitation. You just need to implement some measures. Having said that, Some of the hygienic hacks that work for my family and me are, one, constant hand washing.
This might sound so common, but hold on, we move around, touch objects here and there, touch public door handles, exchange money, and more, right? These contacts are the simplest ways through which we come in contact with germs that we cannot see with our naked eyes. The manner in which I take hand washing seriously in my home—even my unborn baby would have learned these strict, constant hand washing rules, lol.
What about our fruits and veggies? No matter how neat it looks, thorough washings with is a must do before use in my home. You can't eat your food half way and leave it uncovered for flies to touch it. No, just no! Again, more often, I make sure to use disinfectants to sanitize regular-use tools in my home and door handles. Our personal hygiene is not left out; our dressings and underwear must be thoroughly washed without repeating dirty wears. Mopping my floor too is still done with disinfectants; the restroom as well is constantly disinfected to combat the level of germs capable of attacking our health. My waste too is not left out; I ensure to pay for those responsible to clear it all.
All these simple practices are not hard to carry out, and regularly observing these helps us to stay healthier without many hospital trips due to infections caused by unhygienic practices.

This sanitation thing alot of persons overlook is one of the reasons I find it hard to eat out, except in trusted malls where cleanliness is very visible.
The truth is, if most of us are opportune to see the environment where most of the food we eat from road side vendors are made, gosh... We'd vow never to eat out. Some of them has embraced dirt like they have a covenant with it, and the forget that by doing so, they're putting the masses lifes' at risk.
I can remember vividly an experience I had in secondary school, yeah.... There was this woman that sells food just after my street
One day just as I was heading to school with my friend who stopped by at her place to get lunch with her pack, just as she was about to dish to food, she sneezed.... Sneezing we know is a reflex action right?? But when you're cooking or maybe dishing food and it comes, you don't have to sneeze or cough over the food, you can at least shift a little or take your face out of the food, but she clearly sneezed over the food and right before us we saw some droplets of her saliva fall inside the whole food, Jezz... What an experience 😮💨
Then let's talk of how people find it difficult to wash there hands, forgetting that the hands and fingers harbour a thousand of germs which can endanger out health.
Let's all embrace cleanliness by keeping our surroundings clean.
Thank you sis @nkemakonam89 for sharing this.

Thank you so much,ni really appreciate
I still have PTSD from a lady I saw filling her zobo drinks in a bottle for sale. She was sweating and she literally used her thumb to wipe the sweat off her forehead and it fell into the bowl. I nearly puked but I had to hold myself.
Since then, I've not bought zobo drink outside.
People think these little things do not matter, they neglect it and only take it serious when their dirty hygiene keeps accumulating till it causes a serious health problem.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness!
Thank you for this beautiful piece.
Hmmm, can u imagine that ? God..If I saw such a person , I would talk to
That's terrible for real
