Things We do that weakens our body

There are certain things we do that do not go down well with our body system and when these things are done, the efficiency of the body begins to reduce and thus producing some kind of negative or poor result than what we were once capable of doing.
When I say "the body", i do not generally mean the skin alone, its a combination of all our immune system and the sense organs that makes a human being. There are certain things we do and don't do, food we eat and do don't eat and the places we go, that generally affect the good health condition of the body and if one continues in ignorance and keep doing these things that person maybe shortening his life on earth.
Things we do that weakens our body include;
Food:
In general some food we take these affect us either on the inside or on the outside and too much of these things can knock out the body when you need it the most. Foods like;
Sweets and Sugary things: Taking too much sugary things like sweets, icing sugar on cakes is very very bad for the health and the immune system of the body because it weakens the cells and can lead to hazardous health conditions like diabetes, pile and so on. it also makes the person to feel weak and sleep a lot. It also makes urine very painful at times.
Taking too much fatty food: Fats are organic compounds that are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are a source of energy in foods. Fats belong to a group of substances called lipids, and come in liquid or solid form. All fats are combination of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Eating too much saturated fat is one of the major risk factors for heart disease. A diet high in saturated fat causes cholesterol to build up in the arteries, because of its high calorie content, it increases the chance of becoming obese.
So therefore lets also avoid foods that are high in cholesterol also and we can do this by limiting the way we eat snacks, red meats and so on.
Lack of Vital Nutrients in food: Another reason why some food we eat makes our body weak is because they lack the essential food nutrients like vitamins, carbohydrate, proteins and so on which helps to boost the body immune system an makes the sense organs very active.
Drinks:
Some drinks we take also play a role on health either positively or negatively whether you like it or not. drinks like;
Water: Water is one of the essential nutrients we needs that keeps the body going, it moisturizes the body and quenches thirst when when we are thirsty but how does it affect us. Water affects our health when it becomes unclean and when taken unclean it causes so many infections and diseases that can knock off the body like Cholera, Typhoid, Dysentery and other water borne diseases which are very deadly.
Soft drinks and Beverages: Some take soft drinks a lot like fanta, coca cola, sprite, mountain dew, soda and so on. Thinking this is enjoyment some people tend to consume as much as 5-8 bottles a day, but the actual truth is that there is no enjoyment in these drinks, because they contain too much sugar calories, which is bad for the immune system and the white blood cells because they weaken the immune system of the body and thus predisposing the body to infections. The side effects of these drinks is that they are the main source of chronic diabetes, they damage the liver, causes pile, damage the kidney and other things.
Also, some of the locally made ice-cream are also not good for consumption, because they are made with certain chemicals and some things like crayons. so parents are advised not to allow their children patronize such quacks.
Places:
The places we visit are also not exempted as of the things that weakens our body. Places like
Under the Sun: Staying under hot sun for too long is advisable, anything from 12pm -3pm is no longer safe because the powerful rays of the sun can cause some severe damage to the body like sunburn, severe headache, skin cancer and so on. So places that have high temperatures from the sun are no go area for people who wants a healthy life.
Industries with high radioactivity; industries with radioactivity are one of the places that one can go and the body begins to feel funny. this is because of the kind of product they deal with, substances like Uranium. Exposure to uranium can result in both chemical and radiological toxicity. The main chemical effect associated with exposure to uranium and its compounds is kidney toxicity. This toxicity can be caused by breathing air containing uranium dusts or by eating substances containing uranium, which then enters the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, the uranium compounds are filtered by the kidneys, where they can cause damage to the kidney cells and other parts of the body. Another radioactive substance is Plutonium. Radioactive substance on health can also to lead to cancer.
So lets be careful of what we do, what we eat and drink and also where we go so we can always keep fit at all times.
Anywhere you see the radioactive sign below it means that place is highly radioactive and you should be out of there as quickly as possible
