Youngsters need to realise the importance of a good lifestyle. A good diet, regular exercise and a sound sleep should not be traded. In the fast paced life, young adults have become addicted to the hustle culture and it is no wrong to give your best at work and achieve it all but compromising your health can have bad long term and short term effects on your body.
