Health awareness is a cornerstone of maintaining and promoting personal well-being. It reflects an individual's ability to acquire and understand basic health information and services, and to use them effectively.
Recently, CGTN spoke with Professor Chan Siu-chee, the director at the Primary Health Care Academy of the University of Hong Kong. Professor Chan emphasized the importance of adopting healthy habits early in life to prevent the onset of chronic diseases.
According to Professor Chan, incorporating simple lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and routine health screenings can significantly reduce the risk of developing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.
By fostering a proactive approach to health, individuals can not only enhance their quality of life but also contribute to the broader goal of reducing the global burden of chronic illnesses.
