What is Hygiene?

" Did you know that good personal and environmental hygiene reduces the risk of illness by more than 20% "

Hygiene refers to practices associated with ensuring good health and cleanliness. In broader, scientific terms hygiene is the maintenance of health and healthy living. Hygiene ranges from personal hygiene, through domestic up to occupational hygiene and public health.

Sanitation is the hygienic disposal or recycling of waste, as well as the policy and practice of protecting health through hygienic measures.
