Being a teenager can be exciting - a time of growing confidence and independence - starting high school, passing exams, learning to drive, first girlfriend or boyfriend, for example. It can also be a time when you might have anxieties or feel embarrassed - noticing bodily changes, possible mood swings and, if you're a girl, you'll have started, or will soon be starting, your periods.
With all this to contend with, you may not have given your diet a second thought. But it is worth remembering that how you look after your body now - what you eat and the lifestyle you live - will have a huge influence on your health when you reach your parents' and grandparents' age. Get into good health habits now and you'll reduce your risk of developing of diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer and stroke. Eating a balanced diet, exercising and avoiding alcohol and cigarettes are excellent starting points!
