“Healthy” is the new trend these days. Some people join a gym or make a resolution to join them, while some just don’t care about their health, and that’s fine too. We’ve seen so many celebrities transform from 300kgs to 90kgs. That’s not a miracle that happened overnight, but they worked on their body to get the shape they are in right now. We’ve all been body shamed for being fat, skinny or too skinny, but to those people, all we can do is send them our love and pray they change their perceptions. But being healthy is different from being in good shape. Being healthy helps you to keep your body away from the toxic materials that will ruin your digestive system or immune system. According to recent scientific studies, when you have a good and healthy breakfast, you can control your body weight. The body weight we have may be because of overeating or consumption of too much junk. To control that by eating salad or including it in your diet will help you maintain your body weight and keep you away from the unhealthy food.
