Maintaining a Healthy Life Style
Greasy fast food, sugary drinks, and lack of exercise have turned Americans into the fattest people
in the world. Being overweight increases the chances of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
and high blood pressure. Choosing nutritious foods like low-fat meats, fish, whole grains,
non-starchy vegetables, and colorful salads can extend your life and keep you healthy and energetic.
