I am lucky to say that I am very healthy. I've never had really serious illnesses, and i quit smoking a year and a half ago, for which i'm really proud :) I never smoked much but not anymore. And when i go out i don't drink nearly as much as when i was younger.
I eat all types of food: meat, vegetables, fruit, cereals, etc.
The only thing i'd try to do more is exercise. I love sports, but I don't have that much time for that lately, since i've been really busy with work and studying. But hopefully when the latter is done I will start doing some sort of exercise again! excited about that :)
So are you healthy, my friends?

Well, I have been a vegetarian for nearly two years and I can wholeheartedly say that I am and I feel very much healthier than when I was still a meat-eater.

I'm not healthy, and I never have been. *sighs* It's not that I don't take care of myself, but simply that I was born with a lot of health problems. I have to admit that I often feel jealous of people who are healthier than I am even if they don't take of themselves.
However, I am quite grateful to be twenty-six years old and still alive! I would love to go visit some of the doctors I had as a kid just so I could amaze them with that fact, since they thought I wasn't going to make it to adulthood. =p

I do my best to stay healthy but it seems that i develop some new illnesses every year - I am still positive that soon I will be healthy again! I would love to exercise too - I want to be able to run and play with the kids and go on long walks in the country , taking a packed lunch with us! It will happen soon. hugs xxx

I am very glad you are one of the very few people of the world that are very healthy. I am also glad that you have one of the most unhealthy habit of Smoking too.
That alone will keep you more healthy that you are now. I suggest you to practise Yoga also, which will further improve your health.

Sorry,I think I'm not very healthy.I want to lose weight.
My fat body makes me very self-abasement.

Good health is a great thing but it is hard to stay on top of as you get older. For me my vital organs such as heart etc appear to be good, but at 47 my spinal cord and eyesight are less than I would want them to be. I also struggle with my energy reserves.

I'd like to think that I am, but just recently I was diagnosed to have high blood sugar (type 2), high bad cholesterol, and high triglyceride. So now I'm taking medications for my blood sugar and cholesterol and I'm on a strict diet that is less on sweets, low on cholesterol laden foods, low salt, high in fiber and carbohydrates. I hope that this September when I have another round of lab tests, I'll improve, hopefully responding well to medications. I do mild exercises such as walking and tread mill. Hopefully, at age 50 (today is my birthday) I'll be declared healthy by the doctor....

I would say a rating of 1 to 10, i could say that my health would be on 9.. probably because i dont smoke.. i do cardiovascular exercises weekly and im eating a well balanced diet.. the environment im living into is also very cozy and not that much polluted so i guess im a healthy person hehe..

Well I guess I'm not bad for my age! I do smoke, but not excessively, and drink a luttle, but again, nt heavily. Because I'm vegetaian I do eat very healthily - no meat, animal fats, fried or greasy food, or junk food - and loads of fresh fruit and veg. I'm bad on exercise though - I totally hate it. I had surgery on my eyes a few years ago, and also a womens' operation last year, but other than that I'm not doing do badly!

You are very lucky to be healthy. I was a healthy guy some years back. Only last year I was diagnosed to have a deadly disease. I went to a very depressing stage in my life. Depression will not help me cure this disease so I've decided to plan a program that will manage my health. I want to have a program in exercise to make me fit at least. I've also accepted the fact that there will come a time that my health will deteriorate. I hope and I wish there will be a cure for this one.
