Psychological aspect of personal hygiene

Our chances of being successful either at work or society,  or even with an opposite sex can be altered positively or negatively  by maintaining a good or bad hygiene.
Being well presented, clean and tidy, people can feel more confident especially in social situation.

Maintaining a good hygiene helps reduce the risk of ill health, but equally importantly affects how we and others perceive ourselves and can influence our level of confidence and self esteem which can affect so many aspects of our life.
Someone with mouth and body odour will have a low self esteem psychologically he feels their is something wrong with him and cannot measure up to other people,  this will affect him in all aspects of life.

Now imagine you see life cockroach on someone's body or cloth... What will go through your mind?
Imagine the guy/babe sitted next to you on the plane has a massive mouth odour what would you do?  Probably request for a change of seat... How do you think he/she will feel knowing that's why you don't want to sit next to her?

Maintaining a good personal hygiene is of a great importance.

Personal hygiene

Maintaining personal hygiene is necessary for many reasons: personal, social, health or simply as a way of life.
Staying hygienic helps prevent the development and spread of infection, illness and bad odor.

Poor hygiene leads to poor health and unnecessary expense.  If you have a cut the wound should be cleaned and dressed, this would help reduce the pain and risk of infection.
Conditions such as athlete's foot, head lice, vaginal infection should be treated immediately it is noticed.

Washing of hands cannot be over emphasised as this is a simple action which helps prevent plethora of illnesses. Many people "forget"  to wash their hands after using the toilet or before handling food; this can cause great deal of illness.
