One can in a happy state of mind when he has two things: health and wealth. You can create an imbalance in a dissatisfaction with your life. They say wealth lies not in our hands but health is sure. Healthy diet is today replaced with junk food. Some may say it's better, some say it's their comfort eating etc. But in the end, it's still junk. Many of us are used to eating a certain way and not really bother about what we eat. We have to try and stay fit to regularise our diet. This change cannot happen overnight. It only happens if you consciously trying. People tend to change their eating habits after they have a health scare. The more serious the health condition, the more severe the change, but it would be better if people who asked changes and prevention of health problems in the first place.
Another reason for health issues is that people eat too much. A lot of people tend to skip breakfast because of their busy schedule. Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day. Your breakfast should be the heaviest while your dinner the lightest. It is important to have small meals after every 2 hours, so that you are not inclined to pig when you're hungry. Drink plenty of water because it helps remove toxins from your body. As I said, stay fit and healthy in our hands.
