I see so many at the grocery store that I work at constantly buying food that has so much sugar and salt and they do not buy as much healthy food as they should. The junk food and high-calorie foods are always high sellers and it can lead to many people having health problems. Your health is really important and is vital to living a long life and being able to participate in many activities.

Everyone wants to be able to live their lives to the fullest and have fun with their family, friends, and kids as long as they can and people have so many goals in their lives. The one problem that a person could run into is their health because people like to have inconsistent sleep and eating schedules while eating poorly. Being physically unhealthy can lead to being mentally unhealthy and vice versa. The important part of being healthy is to be able to live longer and achieve your dreams, but you cannot do that if you get too unhealthy to take care of yourself.

Soda is extremely bad and something I have had my troubles giving it but I almost never have one due to the high amount of sugar and calories that soda possesses. I find that drinking water, milk, and Gatorade is much better for you. There are so many health problems that soda and sugar can cause. Candy is also something I see many people struggling to Avoid buying and I feel the number of issues it can cause isn't worth the delicious taste.

People eat fast food a lot and that can be very unhealthy if you do it a lot, so it is best to try to eat out as little as you can and try to get the healthiest item on the menu. You can easily get soda or milkshakes when you eat away from home, but most don't realize you can always order water with any meal.

working out is another task most people struggle with in being healthy. People become embarrassed about how big or small they may be or how in shape they are sop they avoid going to the gym. The gym can help you physically and mentally and can help boost your confidence in yourself and add years to your life for being healthy and avoiding many health issues.

There are many tasty snacks and cereals they are not loaded with sugar and calories and people can eat plenty of great food that gives them, proteins and vitamins. They sometimes cost extra but will be better for you in the long run. It is also important to make sure you save money for so many medical bills for being unhealthy and being able to enjoy your life and be capable of doing anything you want. So I feel more people need to be healthy and work hard to have a great successful life by making sure they are happy and healthy physically and mentally.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
