More and more people these days are
beginning to realize that nutrition and
nutritional food is incredibly important if
they want to live a healthy life. Nutrition
involves feeding into your body the right
kind of nutrients and chemicals into our
bodies to make sure that we can grow
properly, and have all our organs perform
their functions properly! After all, what's
the use of being unhealthy!?
For example, it is absolutely essential that
we have vitamins in our diets. These
vitamins, are able to make our bones grow
properly, help the flow of blood around
our bodies and help our bodies fight
diseases. As well as this, vitamins can also
make our nails, hair, skin and teeth much
healthier - and even improve our eyesight!
Vitamins that do this might include
vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B1, B2,
B6 and B12. These can all be found in
different kinds of food, namely the large
amounts of fruits you are able to buy at
the shops.

foods. But is there at least little use of junk food
to our body and health . Find out the harmful
effects of junk food to our body.
• Junk foods are popular because of their simplicity
to manufacture, consume and of course, their
taste. People have their own notions about a
certain food being listed as junk. However,
chocolates, burgers, pizzas, potato wafers and
fries will surely find their way into everyone's list.
 Too much fat! Junk foods such as
hamburgers, pizza, fried chicken and chips
usually contain loads of saturated fats. Too
much saturated fat in the diet will cause
people to put on weight and get fat or
obese (very fat). Being overweight is a risk
to the health of the heart and can cause
other diseases.

much salt. There's a lot of salt already in
foods such as bread, breakfast cereals and
biscuits and cakes.
 Too much sugar! Soft drinks, cordials,
biscuits, cakes and lollies all have loads of
sugar. That's what makes them taste so
good! But too much sugar makes people
fat, rots the teeth, is bad for the blood and
