higiéné
Higiéné is a term that refers to the practice of maintaining cleanliness and preventing the spread of disease. It encompasses a range of personal and public health measures aimed at promoting well-being and reducing illness. Personal hygiene practices typically include regular handwashing with soap and water, bathing or showering, oral care such as brushing teeth, and maintaining clean clothing. These actions help to remove dirt, bacteria, and other pathogens from the body, thereby lowering the risk of infections.
Public hygiene, on the other hand, involves collective efforts to ensure a sanitary environment for communities.
