Make a quick breakfast easy to create by stocking your kitchen with fast, healthy foods such as bagels, English muffins, low-fat yogurt and fruit or juice foods that can be eaten on the go. Work with other parents and the school board to ensure that your student has enough time to eat lunch at school. Be a role model for your teen and encourage them to participate in physical activities and cooking activities with you. Plan family events that include physical activities like walking or bike riding. Request that local convenience stores sell fruits and vegetables.
Teens also have great power in determining their health.
Request nutrition information at a fast food restaurant, and make more purchases based on calorie and fat levels. Limit the hours you spend watching television or playing video games. This can include organized sports, or other activities such as dance, karate, or skating. Ask your school food service to make more items available that are low in fat and added sugar. Add beef and cook until browned, about 7 minutes.
