1. How often do you get a medical check-up? How often should people get a check-up?
1 or 2 times a year.
I have a friend who is a doctor and she says that we should get one check-up a year.
2.What might be reasons people do not get checked up as regularly as they should?
Because they don’t know the importance of the health and they don’t care about it.
3.Are you a healthy person? How often do you get sick?
Yes because I take care of myself, exercising, getting checks-up, taking a good diet…
Not often.
4.What health changes have you noticed as you’ve begun to age?
I’m young so I have not noticed any changes yet. But I think that when you get older, your energy is not the same.
5.Do you consider yourself a hypochondriac? Do you know anybody who might be considered one?
No, I don’t because before thinking about something is a big deal, I prefer take account of the doctor’s thoughts.
I have some friends who care when they are sick because they thing they are going to have something serious.
6.What steps are you taking to ensure you prevent chronic disease down the track?
As I said before, I think you should care about your life’s style and you can prevent some disease for the future.
