As defined
by the World Health Organisation (WHO), health is a A "state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absense of disease
or infirmity". Truly speaking. health is a dynamic condition resulting
from a body's constant adjustment and adaptation in response to stresses and
changes in the environment for maintaining an inner equilibrium called
homeostasis. As per the constitution of the WHO principles, the enjoyment of
the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of
every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief,
economic or social condition. Also the health of all people is fundamental to
the attainment of peace and security and is dependent on the fullest
cooperation of individuals and states. Hygiene is a set of practices performed
to preserve health. According to WHO, "Hygiene refers to conditions and
practices that help maintain health and prevent the spread of diseases."
Personal hygiene refers to maintaining the body's cleanliness. Many people
equate hygiene with 'cleanliness', but hygiene is a broad term. It includes
such personal habit choices as how frequently to bathe, wash hands, trim
fingernails, and change clothing. It also includes attention to keeping
surfaces in the home and workplace, including bathroom facilities, clean and
pathogen-free. The book in hand-'1000 Health and Hygiene Quiz'-has been written
in lucid language to make the younger generation, specially the students of
different School Boards, aware of various diseases of body and mind. The book
contains useful and important topics like Defense against diseases, Immune
system, AIDS, Disorders of nervous system, Psychological disorders, Hormone and
vitamin deficiency diseases. Biotechnology and Dermatology questions have also
been included for the benefit of students. The book is of immense use for the
students and those preparing for medical entrance and other competitive
examinations. I wish to acknowledge my sincere thanks to Dr. B.R. Singh, former
HoD of Zoology, Bihar University and former Vice Chancellor, Bihar University;
Dr. K.R. Singh, former Reader, L.S. College, Muzaffarpur; my elder brother Sh.
Hare Ram Singh; my wife Mrs. M. Singh Bhargav, Abhishek and Rishabh for their
valuable contribution in critical revision of the book and updating the
multiple-choice questions. Suggestions for further improvement of the book will
be highly appreciated.
As a matter of fact, health is a state of complete physical,
mental and social well-being not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. In
other words, health is a holistic concept, encompassing not just the absence of
illness but also a positive state of well-being across all aspects of a
person's life. This includes physical fitness, emotional stability and social
connectedness. Hygiene refers to practices and habits that promote health and
prevent disease, encompassing personal cleanliness and environmental
sanitation. Essentially, hygiene practices are the actions we take to achieve
and maintain good health. Good health and hygiene are interconnected. Proper
hygiene practices are essential for preventing the spread of infections and
maintaining overall well-being. This book contains 1000 important Questions on
health and hygiene and the same will be useful for various competitive exams
including medical entrance exams.
