Health Interview - Mom

What is his/her relationship to you? 
She's my mother

1. Have you always been as healthy as you are now? Please explain. Yes, she has always been pretty healthy so far in her life. She avoids eating meat as she's a vegetarian but eats plenty of fruits and vegetables in her diet. Though she does not exercise as much as she'd like to, she's still pretty active and tries to go for a walk 1-2 times a week, but when she was young she was much more active. She's always been able to handle stress very easily and come up with good solutions to overcome obstacles.

2. What particular health habits in the following areas do you practice, that contribute to your level of health? 
Nutritional Habits: Vegetarian, eats lots of dairy products, fruits and vegetables and plenty of cheese, soya, tofu and lentils for her proteins in her everyday diet.

Fitness Habits: Not a very regular gym hitter or walker, but still tries her best to go at least 3 times a week.

Coping with Stress: She's able to deal with all the stress on her head easily and doesn't have any major issues as such.
Dealing with Conflicts: She doesn't have very many major problems in this stage of her life, but with the small ones, she's able to come up with good solutions to overcome them.

Keeping a Positive Attitude: She's generally very positive towards almost everything and supports mine and my dad's decisions adding her opinion. She also does not overreact or get hyper over small things, she keeps a positive attitude, which she claims to have a better effect when solving problems.

Any Additional Healthy Habits: When walking short distances, she avoids using the car and usually walks there. She also avoids almost all kinds of fried food to maintain a good and healthy weight. She also does not smoke or drink at all.

3. How did you develop these habits? Please explain. 
She has been developing these habits from childhood. Her father was a doctor so she and her brothers were taught about good nutrition and the importance of exercise from her young childhood.

4. What motivates you to practice a healthy lifestyle? 
My mom is aware of all the consequences and effects that might happen if she doesn't stay healthy. For example, gaining weight or developing medical conditions like high sugar and cholesterol.

5. Create a question of your own that you would like to ask regarding this person’s healthy lifestyle. Make sure that the question allows your interviewee to expand on his/her thoughts (not a one word answer). 

Question: If you were to re-live your childhood, what health aspect would you improve?

Answer: She would have played more active sports because she didn't play much when she was young. She would do this because that is what she feels like she missed in her childhood health aspect. It's not like she didn't play any active sports at all, she did, but not as much as she would have liked to.
