Everyone should have a healthy lifestyle

To the average young teenager, looks are very important in their life. Many girls like to wear make up when they go out to town. To some teenagers, smoking and drinking alcohol is the cool thing to do nowadays. But what they do not realise, is that smoking and drinking in fact makes you looks worse. It has been proven that smoking causes yellow teeth, bad breath and you increase the chance of getting wrinkles from an earlier age. Do you want to look worse whilst trying to look cool? In fact, smoking and drinking makes you look older than you really are! How would you feel if you looked like you were 30 when you were actually only 18?

In addition, you are increasing the chance of getting a disease such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. All of these diseases puts strain on your organs and run a high risk of failing. It has been proven that if you change your lifestyle, even by a small amount, you reduce the risk of getting a disease by 90%. It is a fact that living an unhealthy lifestyle, you can shorten your life by up to 10 years. Do you really want to die from a health caused disease 10 years before you anticipated? Because I do not.
