Junk food

JUNK food is an informal term applied to foods that are perceived to have little or no nutrition value, such lollies, soft drinks, potato chips, ice cream, hamburgers, pizzas and other types of take-away food. Junk food does contain some of the things the body needs for good health. It does need some salt, fat and sugar for energy to burn while you work and play, but too much fat, sugar and salt is bad for your health and eating lots of junk food will overload your body with these things.

Moreover, volunteer workers can play a key role in a country’s economic growth. Why not help yourself, and your society, by becoming a volunteer?
