Imagine your plate divided into three sections. One section should be filled with colorful fruits and
vegetables. They provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber to keep you feeling energized. The next
section should be filled with whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, or whole-wheat bread. These complex
carbohydrates provide sustained energy throughout the day. Finally, the last section should be filled with
lean protein sources like grilled chicken, fish, beans, or tofu. Protein helps build and repair tissues, and
keeps you feeling full for longer.

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 when 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.
