Sir,

Subject : Health Hazards Caused by Junk food.

Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I want to recount my experiences and sufferings as a consumer of fast food. Fast food is growing in popularity among teenagers. I too, had a craze for junk food and relished all types of such food five years ago. Little did I realise then that all those items with lot of fats, salt and spices are a potential danger to health. The first effect of junk food was visible in the form of obesity. I became overweight. The doctors advised me to reduce weight by running, jogging and doing exercises. I felt breathlessness and exhaustion too soon. The accumulated fat and excessive weight increased the load on my heart and I became a victim of heart disease. Now I have been forced by circumstances to give up fast food altogether.

I would, therefore, request all persons, especially the teenagers, to avoid eating junk food. They are very bad for. Simple, home - made food, cooked hygienically, is the best food for us. I'm confident you will publicize my views.

yours truly

Swati / Saurav
