I bet you at least once heard “You need to eat vegetables. Vegetables make your body healthy,” from your mom. Why is it so important to eat healthy food? The answer is simple: it makes your body healthy. Specifically, exercising and eating healthy foods such as vegetable and proper meals help you to have a good body shape. Also, healthy body lives long. However, if you don’t eat healthy foods, you might get diseases. How could these work together to help you having a healthy body? Eating healthy food will make your body healthy and keep it in a good shape. Having a good body shape is important because your appearance shows how much you care about eating things and how well you are balanced inside of your body too. It will be great if you can eat only healthy foods but it’s not an easy thing to do. Also, you can loose a lot of weight by eating more healthy foods than unhealthy foods. In addition, if you want to loose more weight, exercising will help you too. And I’m sure you will prefer a slim body rather than a fat body.

People live longer with healthy body. Here is the story that my dad told me when I didn’t eat broccolis when I was told to. At early 1700s, the people in upper class and the people in lower class were divided clearly. But lower people lived longer than the higher people even though they worked more than the uppers. There was a man who thought about this carefully. Within an information of upper people eating meats and lower people eating healthy foods, like vegetables, he finally noticed that healthy food made lower people live longer. Now, people noticed that healthy foods made them live longer, the upper class started to eat healthy foods, too.

Now we know what’s good about eating healthy foods. Then, what will happen when you don’t eat healthy foods? The basic one is that you might get scary diseases like glucosuria and obesity. Glucosuria is a disease that might appear when you eat a lot of sweet things. If you get the disease and it’s really severe, you have to check your sweetness by pinching your finger every morning. You also need to be careful about eating things. Obesity is a disease that you get when you eat too much and appears to have a lot of fat. So we should eat healthy foods not to get these scary diseases!

I wish you got the reasons why we should eat healthy foods. We can have a good body shape and live longer by eating healthy foods. However, we know that when we only eat unhealthy foods, we might get diseases. Eating healthy foods is really important and I hope that all people in the world eat a lot of healthy foods!
