Look deeper into your problems

A man spent more than a year to walk across the United States to lose weight.

But he didn't just lose weight. He realised the secret to becoming thinner was being happy.

I strongly agree with this belief.

If someone is depressed, they may eat a lot and not want to exercise. They may spend a lot of time alone. They probably won't want to talk to other people.

Therefore they put on a lot of weight. And because they don't mix with others, they may not realise how unhealthy they have become.

Having friends is very important. Friends can help us avoid depression. Laughing with them will help us keep fit.
