JSC Unit: 3; Lesson: 3(A); Hygiene
The word ‘hygiene’ means the practice of keeping ourselves clean. It also means to keep our home and work places clean. It is important for our good health.
“হাইজিন ” শব্দটির অর্থ হলো নিজেদেরেকে পরিচ্ছন্ন রাখার অনুশীলন অথবা অভ্যাস। এটি আমাদের ঘরবাড়ি ও কর্মস্থল পরিপাটি রাখা বুঝায়। আমাদের সুস্বাস্থ্যের জন্য এটি গুরুত্ব পূর্ণ।
Hygiene is thought to be next to godliness. It is because we cannot achieve anything physically, mentally or spiritually if we are unclean in our body, mind and soul. Nobody likes an unclean person either. So we must follow the rules of hygiene.
পরিস্কার পরিচ্ছন্নতাকে দেবত্বের (দেবতা- সুলভ গুণাবলির) পরবর্তী স্তম্ভ বলে গণ্য করা হয়। এর কারন এই যে আমরা যদি আমাদের দেহ, মনে ও আত্মায় অপরিচ্ছন্ন থাকি তাহলে দৈহিকভাবে, মানসিকভাবে অথবা আত্মিকভাবে কোন কিছুই আমরা অর্জন করতে পারি না। একজন অপরিচ্ছন্ন কিংবা নোংরা ব্যাক্তিকে কেউই পছন্দ করে না। অতএব, স্বাস্থ্যবিধি মেনে চলা আমাদের অবশ্যই কর্তব্য।
First, we must keep our body clean. We should have a bath everyday and wash our hair regularly. This will keep the body and the hair free from dirt and bacteria.
প্রথমত, আমাদের উচিত শরীর পরিচ্ছন্ন রাখা। আমাদের প্রতিদিন গোসল করা ও নিয়মিত চুল ধোয়া আবশ্যক। এতে আমাদের দেহ ও চুল ময়লা ও জীবাণুমুক্ত থাকবে।
Secondly, we should wash our clothes regularly. Dirty clothes give off bad smell and invite germs. We should wear socks and shoes when we go out to protect our feet from dust and germs. We should wear socks and shoes when we go out to protect our feet from dust and germs.
দ্বিতীয়ত, নিয়মিতভাবে আমাদের কাপড়-চোপড় ধোয়া উচিত। ময়লা কাপড়-চোপড় দূর্গন্ধ ছড়ায় এবং জীবাণু আবর্ষণ করে। আমরা যখন বাইরে যাই তখন ধুলোবালি ও রোগ জীবাণু থেকে পাগুলো রক্ষা করার জন্য আমাদের জুতা-মোজা পরা উচিত।
It is also important to wash our hands before meals and after using the toilet. We should brush our teeth twice a day, after breakfast and supper.
খাওয়ার আগে ও শৌচাগার ব্যবহার করার পর হাতগুলো ধুয়ে নেওয়াও একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ কাজ। দিনে দু’বার ব্রাশ দিয়ে আমাদের দাঁত মাজা উচিত। একবার সকালে নাশতা খাওয়ার পরে আরেকবার রাতে খাবার খাওয়ার পরে।
We must also cut our nails regularly. Our drinking water must be safe. We can get pure water by boiling and filtering.
নিয়মিতভাবে নখগুলো কাটাও আমাদের কর্তব্য। আমাদের খাওয়ার পানিও নিরাপদ হওয়া প্রয়োজন। পানি ফুটিয়ে ও ফিল্টার করে আমরা নিরাপদ পানি পেতে পারি।
Finally, we should keep our surroundings and environment clean. If we do and follow all the above things properly, we will be able to lead a healthy and happy life.
পরিশেষে, পারিপাশ্বিক অবস্থা ও পরিবেশও আমাদের পরিপাটি রাখা উচিত। উপরের বিষয়গুলো যদি আমরা পালন করি ও মেনে চলি তাহলে আমরা সুস্থ ও সুখী জীবনযাপন করতে সক্ষম হব।
