Sleeping Enough Hours
Sleeping is an integral part of
human life for proper health and body functioning. The human body needs a
sufficient amount of sleep to fulfil body needs according to scientific
standards. This is important to avoid
serious health risks, stress and diseases. Lack of enough sleep will lead to severe
health problems.
Positive sleeping habits
guarantee mental and physical health in a proper manner. Making a proper
routine for sleeping can save from different disorders. Sleeping hours should
be constant and disciplined. Positive sleeping time routine includes different
activities which may be in the form of changing night suit, reading stories and
taking bath. One has to consider all these habits in concern with the sleeping
routine. Sleeping hours should be
consistent with fixed timing. Such regularized positive habits lead to satisfaction
of the parents and physical and mental fitness (Sung-Jung, et al., 2015) .
Sleeping habits and bedtime
routines have a great impact on our professional, social and academic life. The
success dependency is almost relying on our physical and mental fitness. Unless
we are no healthy both physically and mentally it is hard to have a successful
life. Importantly sleeping hours has deep relationship with our academic
performance and personal life. It has been proved by the study that one who
sleeps fewer hours have negative approaches in life than those who took
sufficient sleep. Individuals who sleep less than 8 hours in day have less
positive approach toward life. They suffer from tiredness and could not get
higher grades than those, who are having long sleeping duration in a day. This
is creating troubles in their daily performances in academic and social life in
the form of tiredness and mental stress. It becomes hard for them to compete in
life with those who have strong working stamina with consistent behavior.
Therefore, it is beneficial for anyone to have sufficient sleeping hours.
Developing behavior will improve one’s life for both academic and health
perspective (Cohen, Alper, Janicki-Deverts, & Turner, 2009) .

Eating Less Junk Food
Ashlesha & Nicosia (2012)
have revealed that eating junk food has created several diseases. Medical sciences are seriously concerned
about the increasing health issue with such foodstuffs. Especially the
availability of junk food in school and college canteen has created different
diseases in the school child at a young age. This food has contributed to
obesity in children which is quite alarming. Junk food is composed of fat,
sugar in larger amount and with fewer composition vitamins and mineral. By the
consumption of such unhealthy calories in burgers and other fast food has
resulted in obesity along with gaining weight. Having junk food is a bad habit
and avoid this will guarantee good health with less risk of health hazards (Ashlesha & Nicosia, 2012) .
The trend of having junk food
throughout the world is much explicit. Due to certain reasons, people go for
such unhealthy foodstuff. This trend should be discouraged due to its certain
side effect. Several diseases in the form of hypertension, diabetes mellitus,
coronary heart disease and obesity in the junk food consumers. People all over
the world are consuming unhealthy food in a different form and junk food is
considered one of them today. The effect of this is of different nature and
intensity which may be long terms or short. As mentioned, people suffer from
high blood pressure, heart attack and cancer. This weakens immunity system
which invites different disease. Children should be avoided to go for junk food
because the trend impressively attracts young generation. Actually, this bad
habit but children feel easy to have gone for junk food instead of fresh food
and most of them are not aware of the side effects of these foods (Zahid, 2012) .
