If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and reason of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love fast food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food”.
But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn’t follow a healthy diet. They didn’t like vegetables, and many of them didn’t like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.
Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice:
Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.
Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure（高血压）in the future.
Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.
Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins（维生素）and have little fat.
Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.

Here’s a piece of very simple but life changing advice that I first heard from Brain Tracy. Cut down on the TV at night by just one hour. Instead, use that hour to read books that could improve your life.
If you’re a salesman, google for the best and most useful books on improving your sales.
This applies(适用) to all fields, not just the workrelated（与工作相关的）ones. Maybe you want to improve your health, become a more energetic person. Or maybe you want to improve your study, your relations or perhaps do some personal development.
One hour a day is not much. But if you read for one hour a day on weekdays, that’s about 260 hours a year. That’s a large number of books and a lot of useful advice.
