Abstract. The lifestyle of a person, his sanitary literacy, the ability to manage himself, his body and, ultimately, his health, are the most important conditions for maintaining health, physical and mental activity, and increasing life expectancy. In other words, the health of each particular person depends primarily on the way of life and the conscious attitude towards him of the person himself, the personality. In this regard, it should be said that the basis of a healthy lifestyle is the knowledge by each person of those factors that are capable of influencing the body in one way or another, and be able to use them for good, and not for harm. In other words, the modern concept of "personal hygiene" is very different from the previously existing one.
