How to cultivate teenagers' good eating habits?

The age from 13 to 18 is adolescence. During this period, physical growth accelerated, secondary sexual characteristics appeared, reproductive organs and internal organs matured day by day, and the development of brain function and psychology reached a peak, which was the second peak of human growth and development. Because of their growing sexual awareness, they are very sensitive to height and weight, which affects their choice of things. A very big change for girls is the coming of menstruation, which will have an impact on appetite and food intake. In order to meet the requirements of comprehensive and reasonable nutrition for teenagers, besides following the dietary guidelines for the general population, we should also pay attention to the following points:

(1) Dietary diversification

Eat more cereal, about 400 ~ 500 grams of cereal every day, in order to supply enough energy. Ensure the intake of fish, meat, eggs, milk, beans and vegetables, and provide various nutrients needed by the human body.

(2) Develop healthy eating habits.

Eat three meals a day regularly and quantitatively, eat breakfast well, avoid overeating, partial eclipse and picky eaters, eat less snacks and carbonated drinks, maintain ideal weight and promote normal growth and development.

(3) Strengthen physical exercise and avoid blind dieting.

Teenagers, especially women, often blindly diet to lose weight. The correct way to lose weight is to control diet reasonably, eat less high-energy foods such as fat, candy, chocolate and fried food, and increase physical activity to balance energy intake and consumption, so as to ensure proper weight and prevent obesity.

(4) Don't smoke or drink

In adolescence, the development of various organs and systems of the body is not yet fully mature, and the resistance to external adverse stimuli is poor. Therefore, smoking and drinking do much more harm to teenagers than adults, so it is necessary to develop the habit of not smoking and drinking.

(5) Strengthen outdoor sports.

Primary and secondary school students should meet the requirements of physical education class and extracurricular sports activities stipulated by the state. Usually, we should pay attention to playing less computer, watching less TV and doing more outdoor activities.

(6) Pay attention to the diet arrangement during the inspection.

Teenagers in our country are under great pressure and have many exams, so we should pay special attention to nutrition and diet during the exams.
