Solution
Say Goodbye to Junk Food!
Respected Professors and my dear friends,
Good morning. Welcome to the 'Health Awareness Programme organized by our college. To begin the programme I, XYZ, the CR of Std XII C, will say a few words about the importance of health.
I don't think that anyone here is in any doubt about the importance of good health. We all know that health is wealth. Yet, how many of us follow the rules which will keep us healthy? How many of us can resist junk food?
We must be healthy both in body and in mind. To have a healthy body, we must eat fruits and fresh vegetables, and keep away from fast food and Junk food. We must participate regularly in outdoor games and not remain glued to our computers and TV sets the whole day. To have a healthy mind, we must have a happy and positive outlook on life, and encourage positive emotions like love, friendship and happiness. Only when we are truly healthy will we be able to live a complete and happy life.
I now conclude my brief speech. Thank you for your patience in listening to me. Good day.
