D. Text Sample.
•
Do you know if you are too fat, you may have serious problems
with your health? A group of doctors wrote a report about some of the effects
of too much fat.
One important effect is on the heart. If you
are too fat, your heart has to work harder. This may lead to a heart attack; or
it may lead to other heart problems.
In addition, extra fat can also change the
amount of sugar in your blood. This can cause serious disease such as diabetes.
Furthermore, high
blood pressure is another possible result of being fat.
More studies are needed about all
these problems. But one thing is clear, extra fat may make your life shorter.
