Casey:

Well that makes sense. What else did you learn?

Well, I also learned the importance of always wearing a seat belt and putting on sunscreen.

Wow, I never thought about that, but it does make sense!

It sure does. We then learned about how we should limit our alcohol consumption and quit smoking.

I am happy I never started smoking!

Casey:

No kidding! We also learned how fighting stress in our lives is so important.

I find that talking to my friends helps me fight stress.

That’s great Casey because they said that having friends was another way to stay healthy!

II always feel better after talking with you Kelley.

Thanks Casey! I feel the same way!

To Finish, the speaker also mentioned that to stay healthy we must brush and floss our teeth as well as see our doctor regularly

I know we should brush our teeth every day and see our doctor, but I didn’t know that flossing was so important.

Neither did I, but it is crucial !

Thanks Kelley. I think I am going to turn off the TV and go for a walk!

Great! Wait for me! I’ll go with you!
