1 Do you have any unhealthy habits?

among them. My work priorities are such that I reach home around 8 pm. I feel lazy
to cook, so I go to bed with an empty stomach or order a takeaway.
2 In what ways do you try to stay healthy?
I try to stay healthy by eating a well-balanced, low-fat diet with lots of fruits,
vegetables, and whole grains. Thereafter, I workout for a minimum of 40 minutes and
meditate for 20 minutes. It is important for everyone to focus on the fitness level to
stay healthy.

centers and gyms located within the vicinity of my area where many individuals and
middle-aged people come to workout.

achieve long-lasting results.

irregular meals, and skipping breakfast or eating late at night.

Of course! I do think about my health now more than when I was younger. During the
school days, My mother was concerned about my health and even now she is. But
now as I am working and staying in a hostel, it has all come up on me. Initially, I was
careless and didn’t take care of myself. But, with time, I’ve realized the importance of
health and ensure that I practice eating healthy foods and workout on a regular
basis.

better chance to build your muscles and burn fat. Sports can give physical fitness
and as well mental strength. Active participation in physical activities and sports have
a tremendous impact on the human body.

I think playing sports benefit us both physically and mentally. When you play sports,

fitter and stronger. Also, you are giving your body time to relax. That’s why I enjoy
working out so much.

The thing I would most like to improve as a busy professional is my work-life
balance. In order to promote overall well-being within the rigours of my profession, I
hope to make more time for rest, exercise, and spending time with loved ones.

I put a great deal of importance on leading a healthy lifestyle because it has a direct
effect on my general health and quality of life. Getting regular exercise, a healthy
diet, and enough sleep a priority improves not just my physical health but also my
mental and emotional resilience.
1 Do you think people pay enough attention to their health today?
No, I don’t think so. Nowadays, most people are leading a sedentary lifestyle where
they don’t have enough time to look after themselves. They don’t pay attention to
their diet and hardly workout. But there are a few self-conscious people who are
aware of their health and prefer eating a healthy diet and doing some physical
activities in their life to ensure they’re healthy.

One of the best ways a person can be encouraged to stay healthy is by talking to
them about the health benefits. They can even promote health benefits through

combine expert care, compassion, and support. They should be motivated to get
professional assistance from medical specialists who have expertise treating
addiction and provide non-judgmental support.

In my country, the costs depend upon the kind of hospitals we prefer. There are
government hospitals that are less expensive than private hospitals. In private
hospitals, we have to pay a fortune to get our treatment done. However, it is up to us
to choose the hospitals wisely.
5 Do you think most people worry more about their health as they get older?/ Do you
think people start worrying more about their health as they become older?
Of course! In my opinion, once a person hits the 40s, they’re more likely to get signs
of diseases and conditions like blood pressure, heart attack, etc. So they become
health-conscious and take precautionary measures.
6 What are the most popular ways of keeping healthy in your country?
There are many ways to stay healthy and in my country, a majority of the youngsters
prefer working out in gym and fitness center, while the middle-aged men and women
prefer doing yoga, pilates, squats, and other exercises, and the old people prefer
walking or jogging in the early morning to remain healthy.
7 Why do you think some people continue bad habits when they know that they are
damaging to their health?
Although some people know that bad habits are damaging their health, they continue
to follow them. This is because they have attached themselves to bad habits. As the
saying goes ‘bad habits die hard’ it becomes difficult for people to stop doing things
that they’ve inculcated in their daily routine.
8 Do women pay more attention to their health than men?
Not exactly! Women in my country always pay more attention to the health of their
husbands and kids rather than paying attention to themselves. But they make sure
that they don’t involve themselves in bad habits that would have an impact on their
health.
9 Do you think people have become more health-conscious in recent years?
Obviously, Yes! Nowadays, many people have become health conscious which is a
positive sign. It may be because of the influence of their favorite actors who portray
the importance of health benefits on television. Moreover, everyone wishes to live a
long and illness-free life. So they have realized the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
10 How can children learn to have a healthy lifestyle?
Children should be taught to stay healthy from the day they start going to school.
Moreover, they are influenced by people around them. So, as a society, we should
adopt a healthy lifestyle which will influence the children. Instilling a healthy lifestyle
in children can help in building the framework of healthy habits till the end of their life.
11 Do you think the government should promote a healthy lifestyle among the
citizens?
According to me, yes, the government should promote a healthy lifestyle among the
citizens by setting up campaigns about the awareness of chronic diseases. They can
impose tax on junk foods, build a public park for the citizens to exercise in the
morning, forecast a program and advertisement regarding the healthy lifestyle on TV
and radio.
12 Would you say modern science and technology has more of a positive or a
negative influence on people’s health?
There are various ways in which modern science and technology has helped the
human race such as curing diseases through operations/surgeries. Modern Science
has simplified the concept of health in daily life, by giving important details and
opportunities for treatment quickly and accurately. Yet, there are some negative
impacts of using these technologies. But they are minimal.
13 How can individuals take more responsibility for their own health?
People can focus on preventative care, such as routine check-ups and screenings,
to identify potential health issues early on and take greater ownership of their own
health. Moreover, they can also take up stress-reduction techniques, a balanced
diet, frequent exercise, and enough sleep, among other healthy lifestyle practices.
