Here's a secret to a long life: Eat Healthy.
These days, people are obsessed with processed food which they either get from grocery stores
or from fast food joints. The world is fast becoming less green and more plastic.
A study conducted by Dr. Ashkan Afshin from the University of Washington showed that poor
diet is one of the leading causes of death around the world and is deadlier than Tobacco and
High Blood Pressure.
Unfortunately, a lot of people aren't aware of these things. A Balanced diet education is needed
now more than ever.
