We’ve all had those days when we’ve binged on junk food for days at an end, not realising how much harm it causes to our bodies! And ladies, doing it once in a while is not a bad idea, but come festive season, this becomes more of a habit. Downing cocktail after cocktail, gorging on cheese-laden food, and OD-ing on creamy desserts sounds like a whole lot of fun, doesn’t it? In reality, your body is crying for help.
