Adolescence is an important time for young people to develop healthy eating habits that will carry them through adulthood. Eating a balanced diet and getting enough exercise are important for adolescents to maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of chronic disease. Adolescents should focus on eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting intake of added sugars, saturated fats, and processed foods. Adolescents may also benefit from learning about nutrition facts, portion control, and mindful eating. Eating meals together as a family can also help teens establish healthy eating habits.
