Teenage Well-Being
According to research by the British Chiropractic Association, teens place less importance on health than friends and fashion. Maybe today's teens have become so preoccupied with their appearance and social lives that they have forgotten about the most important thing—their health.
A single "healthy diet" does not exist. You should be able to obtain all the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients you require as long as you eat a range of foods from the main food groups, which include fruits, vegetables, grains (rice, pasta, oats, etc.), lean meats, dairy products, and fats.
No. It is not necessary to give up high-calorie foods like cheeseburgers, rich ice cream, toffee popcorn, and other items to follow a healthy diet. You can occasionally indulge in these and other comparable foods, but only in moderation.
To sate your sweet tooth, munch on some fruits. Bring some freshly chopped fruit to school as a snack. For added crunch, mix in some Brazil nuts or walnuts.
Use the "dinner plate test" when preparing meals. A nutritious meal should have half of the plate made up of vegetables, and the other half should be equally split between carbohydrates (rice, pasta, potatoes, and noodles) and protein (meat, eggs, and beans). When eating pizza, put more veggies on it and cut back on the cheese and pepperoni.
