Like most children, I too like gorging on junk food: chips, noodles, fries and fizzy drinks. I eat junk food even when I am not hungry. My parents told me foods high in unhealthy fat may increase the risk of high cholestero­l and obesity. I am trying to control the desire to eat unhealthy food. Instead, I try to take fresh fruits, juices and sandwiches. Though sleep is vital for a healthy mind and body, I often tend to overdo this. Owing to this habit, I cannot go out to play regularly and am often forced to rush things up. It also makes me lazy and causes a lot of wastage of precious time that could have been spent productive­ly. Nowadays, I constantly try to remedy this by improving my schedule and findingtim­e for studies as well as sports. I go out with friends every evening to play in the park and this is also the time for my studies. So the difficult thing is to balance school, coaching, ng, extracurri­cular activities, s, homework and playing. I am trying to devote time to both games and d studies.
