       The first article i saw and liked was Exercise May Help Prevent Brain Damage . I like it becuase it shows how eating a lot can really effect your life. It also shows us kids that while we are in our teens and while we can we should exercise and eat healthier to better our bodies. It also gives some facts. WHich is always good because that lets you know they are not making this stuff up. The second article i liked was
