One reason an average teenager should eat healthy is because it provides nutrients to function everyday. When eating healthy your body gets more of the nutrients you need like protein, fats, micronutrients. These foods have healthier content that most fat foods cannot provide.
If eating healthier food such as a chicken salad instead of French fries, a person can get more nutrients that are required to function everyday. The chicken could give this kid protein which is necessary part of a persons diet because, they are required for growth and repair of your body and your cells and some catalyze biochemical reactions and this is mandatory for metabolism. Proteins have many other important jobs in the body too like gives cells its structure, immune system, and doing every action in a persons body. Since proteins are such large molecules they cannot be get directly into teens blood so they have to be received orally. Protein is also a high source of energy.
The chicken also has healthy fats compared to the French Fries which contain saturated fats. The chicken provides energy. The energy is created by making fats into fatty acids and carbs to sugar. If fats weren't in the body and only carbohydrates, then sugar would be the primary form of energy. This would be very inefficient because this would cause an instable amount of blood sugar causing mood swings, clumsiness, depression and other symptoms. Fats also help the body use vitamins and minerals. Cholesterol (a type of fat) is a key figure in having vitamin D in the skin. Fats are also important in the digestion system. This is because two fatty substances help digest dietary fats and vitamins. One of these fats can be found in food such avocado and olive oil.
