First of all, I enjoyed your presentation. Thank you. Now, heres my question. I know its good to drink water, but I only have a glass a day. Is that healthy? You really should drink six to eight glasses of water a day. If you do that, youll feel less tired and of course, less thirsty. How about coffee? Is it dangerous? A cup of coffee a day is fine. If you drink a lot of coffee, however, youll have trouble sleeping at night. And thats not good. And theres another question over here Good evening, doctor. I have a question about dieting. Do you recommend weight loss drugs? I want to lose weight. Remember: you have to change your habits to lose weight. And you have to make those changes forever. So? So, you dont want to take drugs forever. I dont think its healthy. On the other hand, theres a healthy solution: if you change your diet and eat fewer fatty foods, youll lose weight. Thats a habit you can continue forever. We have time for one last question. 11
