How Healthy Am I? I am Aashrita Pillutla, and I am relatively healthy. On a scale of overall healthiness from one to ten, I would put myself at a level 6.

Breakfast for me typically consists of frosted flakes cereal or pancakes. On weekdays for lunch I usually have a sandwich and for dinner I eat rice with any curry that my mother makes.

I eat things like broccoli, berries, potatoes and various summer fruits. I also limit the amount of fast food I eat, only eating out three or four times a month. As for what I drink, I do not consume much soda, and I typically only drink water or milk and the occasional glass of fruit juice. The amount of water I drink daily typically varies from seven to ten cups.

I also believe that I have a good ability to manage interpersonal relationships with family and friends and know when negativity outweighs positivity and what to do about it, so that the relationships in my life are healthy for me. Finally, I am surrounded by good people who help me make good choices in school, at home and in life. Mental wellness and health is very important to me and it is the area of health that I work hardest to keep up so in this area, I believe I am considerably healthy.
In the grand scheme of things, my self-declared 6.0 level of healthiness is all down to me and it is my choice to improve it. I do not believe I am the healthiest person of all and I know that I am not the least healthy either. My healthiness is about in the middle of the health spectrum thanks to what I eat, what I do, and how I keep my mind. I am looking to improve my healthiness; however, I do not believe it is
