Lifelong Eating Habits
Food habits developed during your teenage years also play a key role in adult health and help prevent diseases such as diabetes and osteoporosis, or weakening of the bones. These include eating nutritious snacks and getting enough calcium. Limit sugary foods and drinks and eat foods that are rich in healthy fats such as peanut butter and cheese only in moderation. BBC Health recommends eating starchy carbohydrates such as whole-grain bread and pasta, plenty of fruits and vegetables and a few servings of dairy products and protein each day. Healthy habits to develop during the teenage years include drinking 6 to 8 glasses of fluid a day, preferably water or low-fat milk and eating regular meals, especially breakfast.
