Healthy dieting tips teenagers

It is a common fact that obesity is one of the most dangerous conditions and is prevalent mostly amongst children and teenagers. If body weight is controlled in the childhood or teenage years itself, then it can prevent many diseases and medical conditions and for this reason many teenagers are dieting these days to look good, stay healthy and maintain a pleasing physique.

But most of the teenagers engage themselves in unhealthy dieting so as to lose weight fast. Dieting must be done in a balanced and healthy way and the following are a few tips about healthy dieting for teenagers:

• Teenagers must keep in mind that skipping meals is not a good idea and doesn’t help a person to lose weight. Infact on the contrary, skipping meals makes a person eat more and engage in binge eating which would in turn raise the body weight.
• Teenagers should include a lot of fruits and vegetables in their diet as these items contain all the important vitamins, minerals etc which are essential for the growth especially during the teenage years.
• Junk food must be avoided at all costs because junk food contains high saturated fat, high sodium and high sugar which make a person gain weight. Infact junk food or fast food items are low on the fiber content which is an important requirement for teenagers.
• Teenagers should also cut back on the consumption of fizzy drinks and rather go for fresh fruit juices, milk and sugar free drinks.
• Teenagers must drink a lot of water at regular intervals so as to keep themselves hydrated.
• Avoid the addition of salt in the food items if you wish to lose weight and engage in healthy dieting.
