So there are four major components to improve your health. One is diet, other is exercise, then keeping them consistent. So consistency is the third key. And spiritual and mental cleanliness is also one way to improve your health because not only physical but mental health is also very, very important. I think that elderly people in my country exercise because they have a lot of free time on their hand and they have nothing else to do. So I think they jog in the morning, evening and they try to do yoga, meditation. I think not all illnesses can be prevented and not all illnesses can be cured. But one thing that is very important to know is that illnesses will be more frequent and not less common because the changes in our lifestyle, the number of viruses that keep on increasing, the antibiotic resistance that is continuously increasing because people self-diagnosing and self-medicating them. I think that healthcare should be free to everyone because nobody deserves to suffer just because they did not have enough money to get treated. And I think that what makes somebody a good doctor other than education, practice and knowing everything about their field is their kindness because kindness goes a long way.
