proper sleep and they also don’t do exercise which is quite important for a healthy lifestyle. A busy
lifestyle results in an improper diet that leads to poor nutrition resulting in iron and minerals deficiency.
All these misbalance routine leads to irritation, mental depression, stress, tiredness and they become
part of their lives which badly affects women hormones that play a crucial role in a woman’s body.

also face irregular menstrual cycle, menstrual pain, premenstrual pain, acne, anemia and many more.
