Tips from hardy individual with lamp raising current health standards (7)
I believe the answer is:
hygiene
'lamp raising current health standards' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'tips from hardy individual' is the wordplay.
'tips from' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'individual' becomes 'giene' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'hardy' with its middle taken out is 'hy'.
'hy'+'giene'='HYGIENE'
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hygiene that I've seen before include "Sanitary practices conducive to health" , "The practice or conditions of cleanliness" , "Sanitary science" , "Personal cleanliness" , "Clean, healthy habits" .)
