It is important to rather try to stay healthy through good eating and exercise habits than to detect a disease or illness. It is important that you know your body and can pick up when you are not feeling well.
Ask yourself the following questions to determine if you live a healthy life.
1. How many glasses of water do you drink per day?
2. How many teaspoons of sugar do you take per day?
3. How many portions of fruit do you eat per day?
4. How many portions of fatty food or junk food do you eat per day?
5. How many sweet fizzy drinks do you drink per day?
6. How many hours do you spend on active sport and exercise per day?
7. How many hours do you spend in front of the television and computer per day?
8. How many hours do you sleep per night?
9. How many hours do you spend in the sun per day without protective clothing, like a hat?
10. How often do you wash your hands per day?
