Food is one of the most basic sources of energy that directly helps our mind and body to function in various stages of life. We all need to have a balanced diet to stay healthy. It’s a fantastic feeling to stay in a pg/hostel because there are no restrictions on a party and can have fun with friends.
Besides this, you also start gaining weight because you start depending more on bakery products, chocolates, Maggie, chips, and biscuits because the pg/hostel foods are tasteless and boring. It is essential to make correct choices about food and that too in definite proportions.
