What are the physical health effects related to an unhealthy diet?


Junk or healthy ?


We are in the age where eating vegetables or fruits is considered odd but having burger or pizza every other day is a cool thing. In other words, eating clean these days is a rare thing to do. People eat healthy foods when they are detoxing or want to lose some weight. No wonder why we have higher rates of non-communicable diseases and the reason we have chubby kids around.
