and responsibilities. Maintaining a healthy routine helps them stay focused,
energized, and stress-free.
One key component is physical activity. Teenagers should engage in regular
exercise to stay fit and healthy. Activities such as cycling, playing sports, jogging, or
walking a dog help build strong muscles, improve heart health, and boost mood by
releasing endorphins. Without enough exercise, teenagers may face obesity, and
poor concentration.
Healthy eating is also an important part of a teenager’s life, consisting of
eating a balance of the five food groups. These include: fruit, vegetables, meat,
dairy and a small amount of sugary foods. Proper nutrition improves brain function,
helps maintain a healthy weight, and boosts energy levels. Eating too much junk
food or skipping meals can lead to weight problems and nutrient deficiencies.
Rest and relaxation are equally important. Many think rest and sleep are the
same, but they differ. Sleep repairs the body, while rest allows relaxation through
activities like meditation or leisure time. Proper rest reduces stress and refreshes
the mind.
