I’m doing a PowerPoint for english class in trying to persuade other teens to not buy junk food and eat healthy! And I need to know how eating healthy affects your future health!
Eating poorly does a lot of things – any of these are bad – feel free to expand on the fact that if you get them when you’re young, the longer your body will be living with these symptoms, the worse your health can be:
Risk of premature death
High blood pressure
Increased adipose (fat) tissue
Therefore, Higher resting heart rate.
– (Someone who is healthy will have a heart rate that needs to beat about 25,000 – 40,000 times LESS per DAY than someone who isn’t. – That’s saving your heart 6 – 9 hours per day of beating time)
Increased bad Cholesterol (LDL) and decreased good cholesterol (HDL)
Increased risk of diabetes
Makes day to day activities more difficult.
– BODY image!! (<— you want to strike at the heart of a teenager? Tell them they look like shit. Then tell them that a few years of this and they’ll look like even bigger shit.) And that can affect them for life. Use someone in class who looks great as an example. ("Look at sharon.. she looks amazing. Do you think she has a complex?" – check with her first before doing that though.)
– Lower self-esteem
– Increased anxiety
– More susceptible to depression
– Over worked organs trying to regulate high sugar intakes etc.
That’s just a few. Good luck with the project.
