However, some Chinese eat plenty of junk food every day, so that their health is in bad condition. In my opinion, they should be reminded to pay more attention to healthy eating.

There is no doubt that junk food does great harm to our health. As it contains too much sugar or fat, people who like eating it may gain much weight. What’s more, they have a higher chance of getting some diseases.

On the other hand, eating healthy food is good for our health. It is the nutrients contained in healthy food that keep our body functioning well. Besides, it helps us build our body and fight disease.

Due to the facts mentioned above, I want to give those who

like eating junk food some suggestions. Firstly, choose green or eco-food instead of junk food. Secondly, keep a balanced diet and develop good eating habits. Only by doing so can they keep fit and live a healthy life.
