Junkies…!!!’ to my article, I know most of you would not have read it, so I had to trick you guys to read it by saying not to read. It’s the fact that people, especially youngsters always do what they are not asked to do.

For heaven’s sake avoid using elevators often, instead climb stairs. Include vegetables and fruits in your diet. I know it’s easier when said but it is harder putting it into practice. Nothing is hard when you have the desire to stay longer. Eat healthy and stay healthy! Happy eating
