Drug abuse affects health, many studies show that drugs harm the body. Cocaine has shown to increase your heart rate, which can make it harder to exercise or get in physical activity. Meth has been shown to keep you up for days without eating or drinking, which can decrease energy due to lack of sleep.
Physical activities make many of the body systems work faster and harder, and drugs also interact with the body physically through dizziness, confusions, lack of appetite, nausea, impaired coordination and balance, and increase heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature (Drug abuse, 2015).
