If you eat junk food and do not eat healthy then your medication will not be as effective as it could be. Sticking to regular mealtimes is also another thing that could help you feel better as it will keep your “blood glucose levels under control”.

But if we do not get enough oxygen in our body we can all suffer because we wont have enough energy to make sure you get through your day to day activities. This could then lead on to other organ problems because you are making your body overwork when it does not have enough energy to be able to do this. This shows that you always have to make sure that you do as your body asks you, each when it’s needed and drink when its needed because your body needs energy to keep you going.

If someone eats junk food all the time and that person’s mother or friend told him/her to eat healthy, it’s less likely that he/she will listen to them, but if he/she admires Jamie Oliver and he suggests to eat healthy, then there is more possibility for that person to follow what he says. If we do not have a good role model then we will not learn any behaviours and it can make our self esteem low . Humanism
