👩‍⚕️ Could you share a time when doing something unhealthy made you feel really bad?

Yes, have been guilty of this so many times the one I couldn't remember vividly was the one that happened during my final year in the University. Then, I was doing my project practical and most times, I will leave my hostel very early in the morning and come back late at night. During all this while, I was skipping meals. Most days I usually eat once in a day. This continued and I started loosing weight as even that wasn't enough I always feel dizzy anytime I do small thing. So because of that very act, I started eating healthy.

Conclusion

The importance of good health cannot be over emphasized. Health is wealth, if we aren't healthy we can't function properly. It doesn't even cost a much to be healthy. We should also remember that a healthy man is a happy man thanks. I invite @dorothy, @chomzy and @knaus to participate in this contest.
