Today, I'm very glad to have Dr. Richard Tong with us. Dr. Tong, welcome to our show. Thank you, Nancy. It's my pleasure to come here. I think all our listeners will enjoy hearing from you. You're going to talk about ways to avoid getting sick, right? Exactly. When patients come to see me, I ask them to take medicine. However, taking medicine is surely not the best way to keep ourselves healthy. We should focus on preventing diseases. Preventing diseases? Yes, keeping diseases away. To have good health, you must have fresh air at home. What do you mean? You should not turn on your air conditioner all the time. You should sometimes open your windows to let fresh air come in. Why is that? That's because germs and viruses will stay in our homes if windows are always closed. In other words, there is a greater chance that we will get sick. At the same time, switching off our air conditioners can save energy. If I were you, I would open my windows when the weather is not too hot. I see. Do you have any other tips for our listeners? Another tip is that we should do sports often. Parents always say that to their children. Why are sports so important? Children who do enough sports don't get fat easily. Also, sports make our bodies stronger. It will be more difficult for viruses to make us sick. Hmm. I have to do more sports then. I don't want to become fat. You look quite healthy, Nancy. Thanks. Is there anyone who would like to talk to Dr. Tong? Please call us at... This is the end of practice one.
