 Hygiene is a set of practices performed to preserve health. According to the World Health Organization who hygiene refers to conditions and practices that help to maintain health and prevent the spread of diseases. Personal hygiene refers to maintaining the body's cleanliness. Many people equate hygiene with cleanliness, but hygiene is a broad term. Hygiene includes such personal habit choices as how frequently to bathe, wash hands, trim finger nails, and changed clothing. It also includes attention to keeping surfaces in the home and workplace, including bathroom facilities, clean and pathogen-free. Some regular hygiene practices may be considered good habits by a society, while the neglect of hygiene can be considered disgusting, disrespectful, or threatening.
