Hope everything goes well with you. In terms of your unhealth lifestyle, I'm writing to give you some suggestion.
First of all, green and nutritious foods are necessary to our daily life, without that we can't build a healthy body. However, it's time that you can eat more fruits and vegetables rather than fast food. Drinking water instead of coke cola is wise choice. Second, you're supposed to cut down the time spending on the electronic products, which it is beneficial to your eyes and brain.
The last point to bear in mind is that early to bed or early to rise will make a man healthy, wealthy and wisely. Hope my advice can benefit you.
