What do you do to stay healthy?

Focus on describing how you lead a healthy lifestyle. Describe your exercise routine and how you make healthy food choices. Leading a healthy lifestyle also embodies what you do to relieve stress and how you take care of your mental health.

Avoid telling the hiring manager that you do not exercise or eat healthy or that you smoke or use drugs. If you smoke or use drugs, that will be a definite deal-breaker. If you do not believe in leading a healthy lifestyle, the hiring manager may pass you over for another candidate.

"I eat a plant-based diet and try to grow most of my fruits and vegetables or buy them from the farmer's market. I also exercise at least five days a week and enjoy running, bodyweight exercises, and Tai Chi. Whenever possible, I ride my bike instead of using my car. I have never smoked, drank alcohol, or used drugs and never plan to. I believe it is important to take care of my body as it is the only one I have."
