Why You Need to Maintain a Healthy Weight How many of include fast food meals in their life? And how many of you don’t? Good morning, Ms. Beth and my fellow students. Today, I will discuss about why you need to maintain a healthy weight for two reasons which are Health and Social life, and why some people think it’s hard to maintain a healthy weight. What is a healthy weight? According to WEBMD “A healthy weight is a weight that lowers your risk for health problems.

Wherever he goes searching for a job, he gets rejected for the same reason, and that reason is that he is obese! Since then, my uncle has lost hope and definitely lost his confidence in life.
