Junk Foods: To Eat or Not to Eat
Lea E. Basquinas
Junk food is unhealthy. That is not new to us. It’s greasy, fatty; and
if eaten regularly, definitely won’t help anyone to be healthy.
However, as unhealthy as it may seem, it is still one of those
temptations that seems hard to say no to. But if you want to stick to a
healthy lifestyle, then eating junk food is none of the choices.
Make your body always healthy. Stop eating junk food because
there are no vitamins in it. It can never help you maintain a good and
healthy body.
Instead of eating junk foods, there are lots of nutritious food that
can help your body become healthier. These foods can make us healthy.
Ask yourself this, “Will I let junk food tempt me, or not? Well, it's
our choice. Temptations are hard to fight but in the end, you will be
rewarded with the health you have been taking care of.
Comprehension Questions:
1. What is the paragraph all about?
