Teens and preteen years are the years where you will do most of your growing. So in order to grow into a healthy adult, you need the right nutrition and the right gear. I am very sure you have always heard, eat your veggies! But that saying is so yesterday. Now, I am telling you to spice up your diet. Want to hear my tips?


1. Support
In order to keep you motivated all the way, get supports from friends and families. You can definitely go through this alone but a few cheerleaders rooting for you won’t cause any harm you know.

2. Eating habits
Practice eating fruits and vegetable every day, at least one of each kind. Cut them into different shapes to make them look more appealing. You might just overcome its bitter taste! Trust me, it worked on me.

3. Exercise
Don’t laze around. Do jogs or push ups. You don’t have to spend your time in the gym. Just put on your favourite show (gossip girls, vampire diaries) and do simple exercise while on it. This is not stupid; it is called killing two birds with one stone. Hehe.

4. Painful, stop!
I admire your determination but don’t kill yourself. If you encounter a few pains, stop and take a rest. Be it your eating habits or exercise routine; don’t go to its extreme. You are just putting yourself in danger.

5. Changes
Did I say you can scratch being fit just because you are in pain? No, don’t give up! After encountering a few obstacles, make changes to your eating habits or exercise routine so that it fits your requirement and ability now.

6. Get accomplice
Why do it alone when you can be healthy in a group? Get your friends to join your campaign as well. You guys can go jogging or gym together. Couples do with your spouse and motivate them. Spread some love while you are at it. I call this healthy dating!

7. Go go go!
You might see improvement. Your stamina rise and your body are all toned up now. Remember, don’t stop. You can slow down but keep your pace up. Slowly climb the ladder up.

8. Reward
Once you achieve your goal, why not reward yourself. Go shopping, go for a movie or bowl with your family. You deserve it after putting every sweat on your work out. I am proud of all of you :D
