In response to the Self-Assessment on Preventive Practices, "I am better off!" I answered yes to 10 of the questions. The degree to which I answered some of the questions could use improvement. Such as the amount of physical activity I engage in each week. I'm active, but could be more active on a bike for example; I am usually running around to activities and running up and down the stairs in my apartment. I could eat healthier, and I just remembered that I have to go to the store and get some multi-vitamins (a habit I acquired while taking Health and Fitness); my diet does consist of eating an apple a day and strawberries here and there, and I like fresh vegetables (such as spinach), so I do pretty well as far as my diet, but there is always room for improvement. All the preventative practices mentioned I do practice, such as eating right to prevent illnesses, stretching to prevent strains, socializing with the best of friends to reduce stress, and avoiding tobacco and alcohol use.
