Teenagers can live a balanced lifestyle by getting enough exercise, eating healthily and having enough
rest. They need to be involved in a fair level of physical activity to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle.
Physical activity can include a variety of activities such as cycling, playing sports, or walking a dog.
Teenagers should aim to perform two or more of these activities regularly. Healthy eating is also an
important part of a teenager's life. A human needs food to create energy so that they can function.
Eating healthily consists of eating a balance of the five food groups. These include: fruit, vegetables,
meat, dairy and a small amount of sugary foods. Having a balanced diet will result in better brain
function, healthy weight gain and greater fitness.
Finally, a person needs to stop work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself and recover. Many
people think that rest and sleep are the same thing but they are not. Sleep is when your body shuts down
to repair and refresh itself. Rest is a time where your body relaxes such as when you go on a holiday or
engage in activities that make you happy and give you pleasure. When you rest, you relax and relieve
your mind and body of all the things in life that may cause you stress.
