Importance of Eating Healthy

Eating healthy can make you look and feel different, and also make you feel good about yourself. Many people have different perspectives on what is 'healthy', but for an average teenager, it's good to eat a fair amount of foods from each food group. You should stay away from eating junk food that are sugary, high in bad fats, and also super salty. There are many advantages to eating healthy. One is that it can help you maintain a healthy body weight, and let you enjoy all types of physical activities. Another benefit to eating healthy as a teen is that the nutrients you get will help you grow to your full potential. Eating healthy also will help you have a lower risk of getting diet related illnesses when you are older, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and osteoporosis. http://www.cyh.com/HealthTopics/HealthTopicDetails.aspx?p=243&id=2162&np=292#top
