EATIN’

Since the early years of elementary school, we have learned about the food pyramid. Anyone and everyone knows exactly what the food pyramid is. It is our guide to healthy proportions of our foods. In order to live a truly healthy life style, following this pyramid is crucial. You must learn to fight the urge to splurge on the sugary sweets and meats!

Although this can seem impossible at times, try to think about the harsh things that you are putting into your body. Even though things may not be affecting you at the time, it will catch up to you.
