How to Escape the Pounds



By: Alexander Merriweather

There are many problems when transitioning from high school to college. One of them is maintaining their weight. Once students are away from their parents and off to college, they will have access to many kinds of foods. These foods can be healthy or unhealthy, but they would not know unless they look at the nutrition facts or know about the food. They will just be focused on which foods would look or taste good. Usually these foods contain greases and fat that can cause an unhealthy weight gain in the student.
Laziness can cause a lack of exercise. A lack of exercise can cause an unhealthy weight gain. By looking at the two senteces, it's heavily implied by laziness can cause an unhealthy weight gain. It causes the student to become inactive and lower their metabolism. The decrease in metabolism is the reason that causes the weight gain in the student. With the added weight, the student will experience a more inactive lifestyle.
There are ways to prevent this before this unhealthy habit even starts. Part of it is knowing your food. Even though this is told often, students need to eat their correct servings of food a day. There is also exercise. Running outside can help reduce body fat. Also the gym can help lose fat and build muscle, causing the body to burn more fat cells with more muscle. This is all a part of keeping a healthy and active lifestyle. The combination of the two will cause the student to live a healthy life.
