It is joyous when an individual makes essential steps in their lives through hard work, but the same dedication and increased handwork threatens one’s health. Everyone, particularly Eve, in this case, knows that her studying habit is bad for her. Nevertheless, she like most people, fail to listen.

Point-Eve is at a high risk of developing heart diseases.
Introduction- An individual’s choice of lifestyle is the primary contributor to developing heart diseases such as heart attack and high blood pressure.
