Healthy Lifestyles

Playstation all day? MTV on repeat… Bored yet? Do a bit of exercise! It doesn’t have to be running, or expensive gym memberships – even Wii is a bit more energetic!
Street dance, martial arts, walking (yes, shopping is included), cycling, there’s loads on offer in the Wokingham area and its cheap! Sometimes even free – bargain!

It’s all over the media – Britain is overweight, kids are couch potatoes/size 0 is crazy/models are too thin.

Sometimes it can be hard to know where to strike a balance. The basics? Eat 5 fruit and veg a day, some carbohydrates, some protein and a little fat. Everything in moderation.

If you want more info on healthy eating, Need to Know is a wicked site for teens with loads of info, not just about diet. You could also try youthinformation.com

One other thing to mention: Eating Disorders (such as Anorexia, Bulimia and Compulsive Over Eating) are serious and dangerous illnesses which can stunt your growth and ultimately can be fatal.

If you or someone you know are having problems with food, check out BEAT. They have online and telephone support, and a special Youth Line 0845 634 7650 and stacks of information for friends, family and sufferers.
