Tips for teen Health
Never Skip Breakfast
There is a misconception that if you skip your breakfast, you can become slim easily. But it's not true. You are not going to become slim by skipping your breakfast. You have to take your breakfast and if you ask me, I would say it is a must. Skipping breakfast will make hungrier and as a result you are going to eat more during the lunch.
Eat 4-5 Times A Day
Just like I said above, it is merely impossible to become slim if you are going to eat 2 large meals a day. It is better to split into 4 or 5. Eat breakfast in the morning, drink juice with some fruits. Then go for the lunch. After few hours, eat more fruits or vegetables. Eat dinner after that. Eat less before you sleep. It is not good to eat lot of food before you go to sleep.
Drink Plenty Of Water
Drinking water will help you lose weight. Though it won't help you to lose weight quicker, it will surely help you in the long term. Drink plenty of water everyday and you will see good results. I love to drink water. I normally drink a cup of water before I have my lunch as this will reduce the amount of food I eat.
Snack on Fruits to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
Take a snack of fresh chopped fruit with you to school. Add some walnuts or Brazil nuts for extra crunch.
Apply the Dinner-Plate Test to Your Meals
A good way to eat a healthy meal is to make sure that half the plate contains vegetables, with the remaining half divided equally between protein (meat, eggs, beans) and carbohydrates (rice, pasta, potatoes, noodles). If eating pizza, go easy on the cheese and pepperoni, go heavy on vegetables and fruit.
Healthy Eating is Better Than "Dieting"
One of the reasons that adults experience weight problems and ill-health, is because they followed drastic or unhealthy weight loss diets during their teenage years. Dieting to reduce weight is not recommended until growth (including internal physical development) has ceased, usually around the age of 18. If you are younger than this, and very overweight, your doctor can help you by putting you in contact with a dietician who will create a healthy eating plan to allow growth to continue but prevent further weight gain. Ideally, discuss this with your parents.
Rest less and workout more
It’s tough for teens to lose weight while they are resting five mintues between sets. You need to get up and workout more. Do a set of jumping jacks between sets, it’ll work! That’ll help out teen health and college health.
Lift weights to lose weight
Teen health is terrible because they, especially females, waste their time on the treadmills and elliptical. College health would greatly improve with shorter workouts with lifting more weights, and teen fitness wouldn’t be such an issue if teens lifted.
When doing cardio, do it right.
Long distance running
Long distance running or walking will not improve teem health. In fact, there have been studies done to prove that adding aerobic training to a workout showed nothing that dieting alone wouldn’t help. Do a short run (less than a minute) followed by a shorter walk. That’ll greatly help teen fitness and college health. It’ll help lose weight!
Don’t isolate muscles.
Teen health, teen fitness and college health will not improve unless they learn to workout right. Bicep curls will not improve teen health and teen fitness. Neither will triceps kickbacks or sit ups help out college health.
For college health, try to stay active.
Easier said than done, but college health is just as big of a concern as teen health and teen fitness. Stay active. Go to the gym more. Remember, if you were an athlete last year, and now you do nothing, your college health will deteriorate.
