Extra Pounds. When it comes to preventing chronic disease, weight maintenance is of primary concern. Excess weight is one of the primary effects of an unhealthy diet. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines overweight as having a body mass index, or BMI, of 25 or higher.
The definition of clean is not dirty, or sober, or off of drugs, or morally pure. An example of clean is a room that has just been vacuumed and dusted.
What is sanitation? What is hygiene? Is there a difference? Sanitation is the effective use of tools and actions that keep our environment healthy. These include latrines or toilets to manage waste, food preparation, washing stations, effective drainage and other such mechanisms. Hygiene is a set of personal practices that contribute to good health. It includes things like hand-washing, bathing and cutting hair/nails. Hand-washing is the single most important activity we can all do to encourage the stop of disease.
