Healthy eating habits for teenagers

Healthy eating habits for teenagers

Adolescence is a period characterized by intense changes in the body and mind.

During this period, nutrition plays a key role in the health and well-being of adolescents. It is important for parents and young people to understand the importance of healthy eating and how they can incorporate it into their daily lives.

First of all, variety is key. Teens need to consume a variety of foods from all the key food groups - fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins and healthy fats. Parents can encourage their children to explore new foods and recipes by offering healthy choices at home.

Good nutrition must be accompanied by proper hydration. Adolescents should drink enough water throughout the day, avoiding dehydration, especially during sports or hot months.

In addition, proper nutrition includes discipline at meals. Young people must learn to manage their portions and not to exceed the recommended amounts for each type of food.

Discussion and encouragement are crucial. That is, parents need to be open in communicating with teens about nutrition and its importance to health and wellness.

Finally, good eating patterns established during adolescence can lead to a healthy life and lay the foundations for a future adult life free of nutritional problems.
