The workshop included several topics, the most important of which are unhealthy habits, including having unhealthy food such as processed or fast food that are rich in saturated fats, as well as taking medicines without a doctor’s prescription, which in turn leads to inhibition of the immune system and increase the body’s vulnerability to infection and weak resistance to germs and viruses.
