     Do you want to be healthier but don't know how? It is very important to exercise and eat the right kind of food to stay healthy. You do not need to spend all day doing exercise to keep fit. Walking to school, cleaning the house or climbing stairs every day can help. Unfortunately, many teenagers forget these simple and easy ways to keep fit.

     Different kinds of exercise such as running, swimming and playing football make you feel good. They also help you to do better at school. To keep a healthy weight, it is important to have the right amount of calories for your age. A calorie is a  measure of how much energy food gives you. Girls aged between 12-15 should have 1800 calories a day and boys around 2000. Doctors suggest that we should eat lower-fat food instead of fatty food like ice cream, fresh fries and popcorn. Vegetables, fruits and grain foods are good choices for daily meals.
