What is tasty is not always healthy. Doctors say that chips and pizzas are fattening, fizzy soft drinks damage our teeth, and coffee shortens our lives. If we eat too much, we’ll become obese, and obesity leads to heart disease, diabetes, and other serious illnesses. Unfortunately, the world today is fatter and fatter.

Lack of exercise is another serious problem. We spend hours in front of our computers and TV sets. of us do morning exercises. We walk less because we prefer to use cars or public transport. Research shows, however, that young people who don’t do enough exercise often suffer from heart attacks later in life.

It’s common knowledge that smoking and drinking can shorten our lives . Cigarette smoking, for example, kills millions of people every year. Many of them die lung cancer. Yet many young people still smoke and drink. Why? One answer is that tobacco and drinks companies invest enormous sums of money in advertising their products. For them, cigarettes and alcoholic drinks mean money. For us, they mean disease and even death.

We all know that the healthier we are, the better we feel. The better we feel, the longer we live. So why not ourselves?
