Health Maintenance – Here you can talk about subtle hygiene practices. For instance, you might like to keep your room cleaner than your friends. You might prefer going to the gym a day after going out for fast food or you prefer to eat a salad at night or a lighter meal. (Here talk about how you and your friends are different in terms of taking care of personal health.)
Protection – You probably are more cautious about not drinking at driving than your friends are. You always prefer to drop a female friend at her doorstep when it is late at night or a bad neighbourhood. (Here talk about how you and your friends are different in terms of how you care about protecting people or yourselves.)
Restoration – You might prefer to study during your free time so you can have a relaxing weekend. You might prefer to eat healthy soup during or after flu so you can get your strength back whereas your friends are not so careful. (Here talk about how you and your friends are different in terms of getting back to good health/ or a coming out of a problem)
Healing – Unlike your friends, you probably would not like to worsen your health by smoking or you probably want to quit smoking, unlike your friends.
