There are countless factors that harm people's mental health, both in daily life, education and business life. Like all kinds of information obtained from communication tools and environmental factors... Imagine that a person's family at home, teachers at school, acquaintances on the street; What they watch, listen to and read in mass media always gives wrong nutritional recommendations, and these foods also have their share of environmental pollution, etc. You can imagine how difficult it is for that person to have a healthy body among all these mistakes.
