Your morning meal should contain whole grains and protein rather than a sugary cereal. By having a nutrition rich breakfast you will feel more energetic that will help you focus better in school or at workplace.
Avoid skipping meals
A big no to a skipping meal habit! If most of the time you skip your meal due to any reason kindly stop this, as it is not good for your body to remain without nitration for a long time. If you have a hectic schedule and doesn’t get time to have a morning meal then try to keep some fruits like an apple in your bag, which you can eat whenever you get some time. This will keep your body fueled all day long.
Cut back on sugary drinks
Most of the teenager love to drink soda and cold drinks of various brands. These cold drinks are full of sugar that is not at all good for health. Try to cut off the number of sweet added beverage to half from your daily dose. If you drink two a day, try to cut back to one and drink normal water instead of the second. If you aren’t able to drink more water, then you can even go for unsweetened tea, fruit juice, low-fat milk or any other healthy drink.
Fill in missing food groups
Generally, teens get enough amounts of carbohydrates and proteins by intake of various foods that are rich in their nutrition but always try to avoid fruits and veggies. To remain healthy and fit always try to add these things in their every meal, but if you are not able to have it all the time try to have it in the form of salad.
Try to eat a balanced diet
Most of the teens like to have junk foods instead of having normal food. For example, if you like to eat pizza then have it but your pizza must be loaded with various veggies rather than pepperoni or sausage. If you are having a pizza in your lunch then also tries to eat fruits like apple or banana after that. This will make a balance in your diet.
So, as a teenager, if you want to remain healthy and fit then try to follow the above-discussed eating habits that will not only help regarding the health but also boost your mood and make you feel fresh and active all the time.
