Overweighing is a heavy burden. It is a factor for causing heart diseases that can lead to stroke and then death, ultimately. You have to always monitor your health for this risk. Not only heart diseases, most overweight teens also are in risk of diabetes and this may cause kidney problems and blindness. With that extra weight, you don’t feel as energetic as you are if you have an average weight. Isn’t it also more amazing if you can fit perfectly for that dress you always want? Being fit and healthy is the goal to get that energy you always need to keep up with others.
