Often young people complain of being tired and complain of different types of diseases which are attributed to not eating well or as said unhealthy food habits. Young generation needs to be educated about food and healthy food habits like not skipping meals, having food from all generation of food .if they want to have snack, it should be healthy items like cheese, fruits, yoghurt \u00a0& not fried items like puffs ,samosa, chips which will give extra calories and fattyness without any nutrition.
