Health, hygiene and sanitation

Human health, in general, directly depends on the conditions of his life. "Instead of
looking for a cure in pain, look for a way that doesn't hurt. "As they say, a healthy lifestyle is
very important for maintaining health in a normal state: eating healthy food, creating a good
diet, throwing out the garbage on time etc. the meaning of the word “hygiene” in Greek
means healthy. Hygiene - from a scientific point of view, it is considered a branch of
Medicine about the prevention of various diseases. Its history goes deep, dating back to about
1500 BC. According to a Greek doctor named Hippocrates in ancient times, the most
important aspects of health were clean air and clean water. His statement was continued by
the famous scientist Ibn Sina. In one of his encyclopedias, he emphasized the importance of
proper nutrition and cleanliness. Indeed, the influence of the environment on the human body
is great: food, place of residence, and much more.On the topic of health, the issue of
cleanliness in the environment, hygiene, and sanitation is especially important. However, they
have a number of questions that require solutions and answers to them. As a result, in this
essay, we will look at the major macro-problems and solutions to phenomena such as
hygiene, cleanliness, sanitation, and health.

First of all, many public places are not serviced in accordance with the sanitary
standards. It is difficult to maintain cleanliness in public toilets. For example, every year, 645
thousand children under the age of five die from diarrhea due to intestinal infections alone.
Without normal conditions, 2.5 billion people will not get rid of diseases like dysentery,
cholera, typhus, trachoma, intestinal worms, etc. Secondly, sanitation in cafes and restaurants.
Human health also depends on the food he eats. Unhealthy diet kills 11 million people every
year, scientists say. Therefore, it is important to pay the right attention to where you eat, how
the food is cooked and how clean it is there. Cleaning is another important aspect of
maintaining cleanliness around you. Because due to dirt, various infections, diseases, etc. can
develop. Take the COVID-19 infection, for example. Not only did the coronavirus start
because of unsanitary conditions, people also got infected because of not having clean hands
and other contact things. The last problem is air pollution, which affects the lungs of almost
all densely populated areas.

Let's now look at solutions, firstly to solve the problem of toilets. Now, many
developed countries are switching to new, innovative smart toilets that contribute to
maintaining cleanliness, which leads to maintaining health. For instance, the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation Reinvent the Toilet Challenge competition was launched to invent an
eco-friendly, high-tech, and economical toilet for developing countries. And so the
foundation invested $5 million to support Chinese researchers to create next-generation
toilets. And together with the Government of India, the Gates Foundation launched an Indian
toilet development project. And then mass diseases like dysentery, cholera, diarrhea, typhus,
and trachoma comparatively decreased. Secondly, there are auditors in cafes and restaurants
to maintain sanitary conditions, who evaluate them. Therefore, for your own health, I advise
you to choose establishments with a good response from visitors. But the third problem is not
so easy. The pandemic is one of the most severe consequences of being unhygienic. However,
as experience has shown, it is also possible to correct this by disinfecting the hands and the
house and the surface of all public places often and properly. The most important thing is the
cleanliness of the environment. To solve air pollution, it is necessary to reduce the emissions
of machines and install a smoke filter in factories.
In conclusion, all of the above problems are happening in life. However, by fighting
them together, we can overcome it. In general, in the modern world, superpowered
technologies and new approaches will play a huge role in solving these problems. Health is a
person's wealth, it is everyone's duty to preserve it.
