+----
-Personal hygiene involves those practices performed by an individual to care for one's bodily health and well being, through cleanliness. Practices that are generally considered proper hygiene include bathing regularly, washing hands regularly and especially before handling food, washing scalp hair, wearing clean clothing, brushing teeth, cutting finger nails, covering one's mouth when coughing, disposal of soiled tissues appropriately, making sure toilets are clean, and making sure food handling areas are clean, besides other practices. People tend to develop a routine for attending to their personal hygiene needs.

That means a minimum of six hours of sleep, three meals per day and one shower. It's sometimes easy to forget the basics of caring for one's self and those around you. This is a good basic starting point for most people.
