Question

Everyone knows that it is important to be fit throughout our lives, yet many people still make unhealthy choices. You are concerned that your parents are living a lifestyle that is putting them at risk for illnesses associated with aging. You know that many of these illnesses can be reduced or even prevented with a healthy lifestyle. Because you care about your parents, you are planning on having a discussion with them to explain the health risks associated with their current lifestyle and to encourage them to embrace a healthy lifestyle. What will you say to them?

Answer 1

First, I have to tell them the risks of having an unhealthy lifestyle. I will provide them a list of the possible diseases that people who are aging could have. Then, I will give them a list of some of the healthy habits they could apply in their lives. I will encourage them to at least jog around the area together every morning and I will encourage them to stop eating unhealthy foods.
