    According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is defined as "the complete physical,

    mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of any diseases or infirmity." It entails
    functioning properly across all dimensions of our mental, social, and physical spheres. In the
    context of health, historical records indicate that individuals in past centuries exhibited superior
    health and vitality compared to contemporary populations, primarily due to factors like
    advancements in food technology, which, unfortunately, is contributing to the rising issue of
    obesity today—a pressing concern that warrants attention.

    The adage "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" underscores the critical role of nutrition in
    maintaining good health. Our well-being is intricately linked to our daily dietary choices. Opting
    for a nutritious diet tends to keep us at a safe distance from medical professionals, while
    indulging in unhealthy, junk food habits may necessitate frequent visits to doctors, leading to
    accumulated medical expenses. In bustling nations like America, there has been a noticeable
    surge in the prevalence of fast food culture. Fast foods, characterized by quick service, often
    involve frozen or heavily-oil-fried items with diminished nutrient content. These foods
    contribute to health issues such as obesity, heart attacks, diabetes, gastritis, acidity, and more.
    Accompanying these fast foods are sugary sodas, laden with chemicals that, if consumed
    regularly, pose risks of various illnesses. The ramifications extend beyond physical health; the
    frenetic pace of modern life has given rise to an addiction to such foods and beverages,
    contributing to mental distress. Carbonated drinks, with their high sugar content and chemical
    additives, can lead not only to physical ailments but also mental disorders such as insomnia due
    to the presence of caffeine.
