Q&A with Nethel Veloso
What’s your favourite healthy living tip?
Sleep is essential because it’s when the body restores itself. I always try to get eight hours of sleep each night and maintain good habits before bed.
What’s one of the most surprising things you’ve learned in the health industry?
Many people tend to self-medicate or rely on “Dr Google” instead of seeking professional advice.
How can you spot bad health advice online?
If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Checking multiple sources for the same information also helps you decide whether advice is trustworthy.
Why the focus on health writing?
I like to focus on health information because I believe it helps people feel more confident and informed. Especially when comparing services and understanding their options.
What do you enjoy doing when you are not busy?
I enjoy reading, playing online games, cooking, walking the dog and binge-watching TV shows.
