Make a Change

Author’s Note: People may wonder why things aren’t going their way. Every single person is different, you will always be you, but the change you can make is the ones you really desire. I wrote this essay because I really care about eating healthy and staying active. I wanted to show people that being healthy is very important and will affect your life later.


Cancer, heart disease, and obesity are the three main health issues caused by an unhealthy diet. It is a proven fact that you will have a shorter life span just because of what you choose to eat now. People don’t realize how different their life could be; healthy foods are very important for your body; therefore people should take more caution on what they are eating. Treating your body is one of the most important things in life, organic foods, eating healthy, and exercising are good habits to maintain for a healthy lifestyle.


To sustain a strong life, eating healthy foods is just one way to get started. For instance, when picking out fruit, such as apples, you want to choose the ones that look the best. Maybe for some it might be the shiniest, and for others it could be the course textures. When it comes to apples, the shiniest ones are not always natural, they’ll have wax on them. The wax makes the apple more appealing no matter how many chemicals are added. This proves that not only apples can be deceiving, but that all different types of foods can be misleading and untrusted when it comes to having a healthy diet.


Though many foods are unhealthy whether you can see it or not, organic foods are different. Organic foods taste, smell, and look the same when compared to unhealthier foods but the difference between the two is how they are grown and processed. Organic foods are not just made for money, yes they can be more expensive but that’s only because the food is made with healthier products. In the end, it would all be worth it.


Food is not the only way to maintain a healthy lifestyle, daily exercises and sleep is also very important when it comes to staying fit and being active. It’s easy to work out, either running or lifting weights, but to actually improve your immune system you have to be consistent. With a strong immune system you will get sick less and you will have a stronger heart which makes everything else in life way easier.


Newspapers, T.V’s, anywhere you go, you will see people influencing you to make a healthy decision. No matter how hard that may be, you should never give up.There are many more ways to make your life worth wild, but if you are able to eat healthy and exercise daily you will defiantly see a change; big or small you won’t regret it.
