Health consciousness amongst the youths

Though the youths are the wide users of social networks, they have less health consciousness. They don't have control over their food. College students frequently plan for a hangover and eat lots of junk and unhealthy stuff. Youths know lots of information about health consciousness, but they refuse to follow them. They tend to be health-conscious only when someone says, "You look like a 30-year-old men or women". Then they start to realise to be health-conscious over their food. But they don't follow proper eating habits. They more often change their pattern of eating habits, their lifestyle according to their moods.

They sometimes overdo exercises which may cause risk to their health. Sudden access to too many exercises is not good for health. Our body accepts changes only in a slow process.
