Healthy eating for teenagers
There are a lot of definitions for the words “healthy eating”, no doubt, but there is usually something missing in most definitions. The apt way to explain what healthy eating entails is to start from the
very beginning.
Look at it this way: as a teenager or even as an adult, you have a body and you need to constantly renew your energy level, right? Well, there you have it. You constantly need to eat to replenish your body reserves, okay, but you need to eat the right kinds of foods to keep the strength level actually up to par, and also to provide yourself with the nourishment level needed. Well, this has been written to help you out in your healthy eating habits. There would be explanations on what a healthy meal encompasses, what it entails and the components you cannot do without. The thing is, if you actually take the pains to eat well, you can be sure to get a lot more output from your body.
Reasons for wanting to eat healthy:
»If you eat healthy as a teenager, you can be sure of a wonderful energy level throughout the day.»Vitamins and minerals are in the right composition in your body, and you can draw on these when needed.»If you have an eye for sports or athletics, you can be sure to perform better since you are actually doing your body good.»For those people who have not yet attained their maximum growth level, they can be happy to note that if they eat healthy, they can grow as much as they possibly can without any nutritional restrictions.»Also, you can be sure that you would not fall into feeding and weight disorders like bulimia and anorexia. Also, you do not have to worry about being chronically thin or just plain obese.»Your eating habits would also be groomed so you do not do some funny things like skipping some meals and stressing your GIT [gastrointestinal tract].
This much being said, what actually is healthy eating? Well, the following points would help you get a better idea as to what healthy eating actually means.
Page ninety-five
»Healthy eating means actually eating regularly, at the right time. This translates into eating in the morning, noon and evening. Of course, it might also include the need to consume healthy snacks, especially if you are in need of extra energy in the day.»It also means actually eating food that comes from the healthy food groups in the food categories.»It is also the combination of foods rich in nutrients with other ordinary or not so rich foods, like sweets and all those “junk” actually called fast foods.»Believe it or not, eating healthy also means eating enough to satisfy your appetite and learning to stop when you have had enough – i.e., avoiding overstuffing or under eating.
