She is my friend's older sister.


1. Have you always been as healthy as you are now? Please explain.

No, I've had trouble keeping weight after the age of 13 because that's when I stopped playing badminton and swimming on a weekly basis. It has been a slow process but I have managed to stay healthy till today.

2. What particular health habits in the following areas do you practice, that contribute to your level of health

Nutritional Habits__I try to stick to the 2 fruit and 5 vege concept when I cook and eat meals at home,having a good breakfast is important I feel, it gives me the energy to start of the day. I also try to limit my sugar intake as hig levels are bad for the body. ____________________________________________

Fitness Habits__ I try to go to the gym or just 30 min evening walk at least twice a week.______________________________________

 I was determined to reach the same health level I had when before I was 13 and having friends who live the same sort of lifestyle helps me stick to the good healthy habits.

Just the thought of wanting to live a long and healthy life without having to worry about sickness in the future especially when the time comes for me to start having a family.
