Health Tip: Help Teens Set Healthy Resolutions
By LadyLively on January 2, 2015

Just like their parents, teens may make resolutions to live healthier lives during the upcoming year.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says teens should consider resolving to:
- Saving soda for a special treat, and eating at least two servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit daily.
- Focusing on healthy foods, appropriate portion sizes and regular exercise.
- Limiting television and video game time to two hours per day at most, opting for non-violent shows and games.
- Volunteering in the community, and finding ways to help friends who are depressed, bullied or struggling.
- Finding healthy ways to deal with stress, such as by writing in a journal, talking with a loved one or getting exercise.
- Carefully considering potential dating partners, and always being respectful and kind.
- Avoiding alcohol, drugs and tobacco.
- Wearing a seat belt and never texting while driving.
