your body needs certain minerals and vitamins and the best way to get them is to eat healthy fresh fruit and vegetables. Eating junk food will lead to various health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure. You are what you eat. If you eat healthy your body performs so much better and you have more energy and you'll live longer:) Good Luck!

Hi there!


Here, I will show you some very cool facts that you never knew about healthy food versus junk food.


I will name some food that you should eat, and foods you shouldn't.


Healthy foods keep you steady in weight, and they can increase your lifetime. Most people eat food just for flavor, not thinking about what goes inside their bodies, while others eat for health. Some foods that everyone should eat are:


Fruits: (You may find below some foods which you thought were vegetables, but are fruits.)

Tomatoes,

Apples,

Bananas,

Strawberries,

Blueberries,

Raspberries,

Blackberries,

Bell peppers,

Summer squash,

Butternut squash,

Cucumbers,

Zucchini,

Avocadoes

---------------------- Hold up! The last few items on the list... are fruits?

Actually, yes! Anything with seeds in it and grows from the earth is considered a fruit.

Vegetables:

Carrots,

Broccoli,

Cauliflower,

Onions,

Garlic,

Celery,

Beets,

Potatoes,

All of the above are vegetables.

Eating everything from here and up results in physical changes (and inside changes, too!)


Let us go into the not-so-healthy-foods.

Most of your everyday-junk-foods have a lot of things in it that hurt the body. One big problem is gelatin. Gelatin is made from one forbidden animal on earth, that we're not supposed to eat. It's the pig.


I recently learn this - Gelatin comes from pig bones. So the following foods you want to avoid are:


Pop-tarts,

Gummy bears,

Marshmallows,

Candy corn,

Rainbow sprinkles

These are just some foods that you want to avoid. Isn't it sad that the foods we all want to eat are so bad for you? Eating food just for flavor doesn't help you!


This can be found popping up at McDonalds or Wendy's or Burger King, any fast food restaurant you go to. Be careful!


Remember how we went over how people who eat the fruits and vegetables live a longer life than those who don't? People who eat these foods reduces life expectancy, I've learned.


This is why you should always read what's in the ingredients of whatever your going to buy before actually buying it.


Hope this helps!

Remember to eat healthy! :D
