HEALTH AND FITNESS 2nd year

 HEALTH AND FITNESS 

When you are young, a teenager, then that's the time to get really fit because if you start then you can keep on all through your life avoiding many of the problems that come later in life. And the beauty is you need an hour a day. As soon as you wake up have a decent breakfast but not too fatty. Have a slice of toast with some fruit and yogurt and a coffee. Try to avoid sugar. After finding some steps, in your house or elsewhere and start to do reps up and down. On the first day do five and every day after add one. 

Do one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Eat sparingly but if you are training you can more or less eat what you want but avoid fatty foods. It won't be for at least two weeks before you feel slimmer and fitter but after 2 months you'll be really fit and slim . Also if you have to go out walk everywhere if possible and walk in the quickest way you can.

The teenage years are important in terms of both mental and physical development, and staying fit during adolescence can have benefits that are both physical and psychological. The fitness habits a teenager develops during adolescence are likely to last a lifetime, and studies have shown that exercise can be beneficial to a teen's overall health while promoting a positive body image.

The American College of Sports Medicine and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that a teenager spend at least 30 minutes doing some type of physical activity each day 2. Unfortunately, physical activity seems to diminish for many when they reach the teenage years. In fact, a study published in the March 2006 issue of "Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise" found that more than half of about 2,000 girls surveyed, all between the ages of 16 and 18, were classified as sedentary.

There are various physical benefits associated with being physically active during the teenage years. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, physical fitness should be a key component in the life of a teenager, as exercise can help build strong bones, muscles, and joints, and keep the teen generally healthy 

 In addition, exercise will also help a teenager control his weight by building lean muscle while burning fat. Another physical benefit of fitness is that it can reduce blood pressure in teenagers who have hypertension.

A European study appearing in the December 2009 issue of the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" found a direct correlation between a teenager's level of physical fitness and IQ. Using a government database, researchers examined data on 1.2 million young men born in Sweden between 1950 and 1976 who received physical and intelligence assessments when they enlisted in the military. The study concluded that being physically fit at age 18 is linked to having a higher IQ, and increases the likelihood of higher-than-average educational and professional achievements in adulthood.

Body Image

A positive body image can result in an increased sense of self-esteem that will enhance other aspects of a teenager's life, and fitness can be an important component in creating a positive body image. In a study published in the April 1997 issue of "Perceptual and Motor Skills," several college-aged women participated in a six-week fitness-and-wellness program, intending to measure changes in body image during that time 4. The study concluded that participation in this fitness program provided the young women with "a positive, proactive, empowered attitude toward their own health and well-being."
