Answers.
1. I was admitted to the hospital twice due to pneumonia in 2019 and a kidney disorder in 2020. I got
pneumonia because our cousin, who used to reside with us, was addicted to smoke, which caused me to
inhale secondhand smoke. And for the kidney disorder, I used to eat a lot of junk food and drink soft drinks.
I also used to eat salty foods that led me to have a kidney disorder. But I am getting better as the years go
by and have learned a lesson about taking care of my health.
2. There are negative and positive consequences to learning the lesson. The positive consequences are
that I can no longer eat junk food and soda, I am no longer tempted to eat any of them, and I have also
improved my diet by eating low-sodium foods now. Sometimes, the people around me are influenced to
eat low-sodium foods. However, the negative consequence is that I am prohibited from eating some of my
favorite foods.
3. I realize that not monitoring your diet can really lead to something you didn't expect. I learned that
something that is too little or too much is not a good thing for us. I apply these lessons to my life daily by
choosing what I eat.
4. My life philosophy after this experience is "Health is wealth." I understand the importance of taking care
of my health and making mindful choices when it comes to nutrition. It's a reminder that sometimes,
sacrificing temporary pleasures for long-term well-being is worth it.
