This is a question that is often asked by people of all ages. Why do we need to eat healthy food? Why do I have to exercise? What's the big idea about expressing my feelings? Does it really matter if I don't spend time with my family? These are just a very small portion of questions that could be asked regarding your health. Do you want the real answer? Put your hand over your chest. Do you feel that? Yes, that my friends is your heart beat. That is the reason why we need to be healthy. In order for you to do well in school, make friends, play sports, build machines, and lead the world, you need that heart to beat as well as it can. Your mental, emotional, and physical health all rely on your heart being STRONG! If you ever feel like giving up, putting it off till later, or proceeding without really trying, just remember why you are doing it. Use that motivation to keep on pushing through those tough times and you'll eventually see the bright side of success.
