What Foods You Should Limit and Avoid



As an average teen, in your diet you should limit your intake of sweets, packaged/processed food (also known as "junk food"), and fatty foods (such as cheeseburgers, pizza, french fries, etc). Even though you may think some of these foods are very delicious, if you want to have a healthy life you should limit and avoid them by turning to a more "healthier" source of nutrition. You should limit and avoid these foods, because they have lots of saturated fats in them, most of the foods do not have many nutrients, the foods are harder for your body to digest so it causes stress on your body, and if you continuously eat these foods then they can cause cancer. 
You may occasionally have a little serving of one of these "bad foods", that is okay, but if you continue to eat it every single day, you will find yourself becoming obese and lazy. I hope you heed this warning to achieve a better and healthier life as a teen!
