Answer:

It looks grammatically correct, but I think the addition of "now" could show the degree of effect with respect to time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting the sentence, we can say, "He has always been negligent about his health, and now he is feeling the effects of his carelessness."

This would show how his negligence to his health in the past has finally caught up with him in the present.
