Food-a-holic people do not resort to fixed eating hours and keep on munching something or the other throughout the day. This leads to a disturbance in their digestive system resulting in accumulation of fat in their body. It also makes them lazy and they start avoiding exercise and physical activity which further spoils them bodily systems.
