The interviewer would like to get to know you a little bit more from a personal perspective. This type of question is a great opportunity for you to stand out from the other candidates by offering a unique and memorable answer. This is not the time to give a general answer. Keep your reply brief but open and honest. Perhaps you have struggled with your weight, or helped someone in your family overcome an illness through healthy lifestyle changes!

"Health and nutrition has been an important part of my life from a very young age. My dad has diabetes and I have seen the positive difference it made when he started to choose a healthy lifestyle. When he exercises and makes the best food choices, he feels so much better. I think everyone should be aware of the major connection between our lifestyle choices and our quality of life."
