Hobbies, favorite movies, books:

• "I love quiet evening walks and playing the piano — these are my ways to restore balance. I enjoy reading books with depth and complex characters: for example, 'The Da Vinci Code' by Dan Brown or 'One Man in the Field is Not a Warrior' by Yurii Dold-Mykhailyk."

Doctor's advice:

• "Don't postpone a visit to an ENT doctor, even if the symptoms seem minor. Nasal congestion, sore throat, or hearing loss can indicate processes that are easy to stop at an early stage. Undergo regular preventive check-ups — this is not a formality, but an effective way to maintain your health. Take care of your health and don't forget to schedule check-ups for children or parents."
