Young people and health
Nowadays, young people seem to be not enough concerned about their health: in fact, as a result of this consumistic society, fast foods have overrun our cities and, because of their being cheaper and faster than normal restaurants or than cooking fresh food, are becoming more and more popular among the youngsters.
What young people generally don’t take into account is that fast foods and fizzy drinks are poisoning their bodies. After a diet completely based on this kind of food, we start putting on too much weight, with all the issues related to that, and our lives gradually shorten.
On the other hand, as most people think, “youth is freedom” and there will be time to keep fit after growing older. But this wouldn’t solve the problem: scientists say that losing weight and keeping fit becomes more difficult with age.
So young people, rather than wasting their time trying to ignore how they’re destroying their lives, should invest all their energy in keeping fit and taking care of their own health. All this because, as Juvenal says, “mens sana in corpore sano”.
A very good piece of work..here are some suggestions:
ReplyDeletePar. 1 ..concerned enough .......... consumer society ....popular with youngsters
Par. 2 .....our life expectancy reduces ....
Par. 3 ...get fit when growing older. But this will not solve the problem
