Why it is important to eat healthily

There are many benefits of eating healthily and exercising regularly some of the most obvious ones are being a normal size and not being obese, feeling good physically, and feeling good mentally. There are also less obvious benefits to being active especially as a teenager. It is not necessary to constantly be active but you should do some physical activity outside of school like a sport or just riding your bike to a friends house instead of going in a car. it is recommended that you do at least one hour of activity most days and every day if you can.

Physically active teens are more likely to stay active throughout their whole lives than teenagers who do no physical activity at all. That in turn lessens the risk of obesity not only during the teenage years but also later in life as an adult. Active people of all ages have more energy and therefore feel more energetic throughout the day. Regular activity can help prevent heart disease and diabetes as an adult as well.

There are so many benefits to being an active teenager now and later in your life and all it takes is a few hours a week. That could be a few hours working an active part time job or just doing chores around the house, the possibilities are endless!
