Many teenagers force themselves to not eat as they believe it will help them lose weight which is false as when you’re in your teens you are constantly developing so not eating properly will lead to lack of nutrition and energy to help you get through the day. Eating regularly will help boost mood and concentration. Try eating 3 meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) with snacks in between to control your appetite.
-
Exercise around 30 minutes per day will reduce stress, lower your body fat, improve your sleep and boost your self-confidence and self-esteem.
