•To little of healthy foods or too many unhealthy foods can result in a delayed hormonal and sexual maturation

•Mental, emotional, and spiritual health - you are more focused, alert, creative, and aware (in school and in sports) when you are an active teenager who eats a well balanced diet.
•When you look good, you feel good - you will not be overweight and develop diabetes or heart conditions, you will have healthy skin (less acne),
•Under-eating is extremely detrimental to your health and can have terrible side effects - you need enough energy to get through the day
