Put it all together

Being a student is sometimes hard. Too much homework, social life and travelling long distances sometimes make students have an unhealthy life.

Think of yourself: how often do you have a proper breakfast? Do you drink enough water? How often do you eat just to stop being hungry and you don’t care how nutritious your food is?
