About the Chapter

Health and hygiene are two important parts of our life. If we want to stay happy and strong,
we must take care of both. Hygiene means keeping ourselves clean so that germs do not make
us sick. It includes bathing, washing hands, brushing teeth, wearing clean clothes and keeping
our surroundings neat. Along with cleanliness, our body also needs exercise, correct posture
and proper sleep. Exercise keeps our body active, posture keeps our bones and muscles strong,
and sleep helps us to rest and grow. Another important topic is understanding good touch and
bad touch. It teaches us how to protect ourselves and when to say ‘no’ to things that make us
uncomfortable. By learning these habits, we not only keep ourselves healthy but also learn to
respect our body. This chapter will help us understand the true meaning of health, hygiene, and
safety in everyday life.
