Act responsibly, live healthily


I STRONGLY agree with Dr Junaidi Ismail (“Getting staff to be healthy”; The Star, Dec 22) that each of us has to take responsibility for our own health. By this, I mean practise preventive health rather than burden our healthcare system or depend on our employers or insurance companies to bear the costs for curative treatment.

How do we do this? Simply by eating and drinking right, exercising, getting enough sleep, staying away from alcohol and cigarettes, and generally trying not to be overwhelmed by stress.
