Q: Do you think young people today are healthy? Are their life habits healthy? What is important in keeping healthy? Are young people following? Are you?

A: I think half to half. Because it depends on their life habits. For example, foods habits, today we deal with the fast environment. I work all day from 9am to 6pm. I just have one hour for lunch I need to eat fast food, for example, fast food, kfc or McDonald or some pizzas. That’s all have high calorie food. It’s not healthy for us. When I finish the work, go to home, it’s too late. I don’t have enough time to do exercise. That’s a bad circle. And we have a bigger pressure. It’s very dangerous for our mental. If we want to get a healthy life, we must adjust life-and-work balance. About work, we should adjust our emotion in a bad situation. About life, if we have enough time I think we should go to natural environment to keep healthy. We can give us a long vacation for relax. Maybe I think, for the young generation, I think we are following the good healthy. I’m trying to follow the good way, but I think I need to have time to do.
