Between school, homework, sports, your after-school job, and hanging out with friends, it may feel like there's no time for healthy eating. And when you have time, you may simply eat snacks like potato chips.In fact, if you have a busy schedule, it's even more important to eat healthy foods that give you the energy you need to keep going.
For example, you may feel hungry in a long afternoon of classes or during your swim meet. Knowing how much food your body needs to satisfy this hunger is important. A few walnuts(核桃) are great brain food before sitting down to do your math homework.
Healthy snacking is important to you. During teenage years, the body needs more nutrients to grow. Snacks are a great way to satisfy your hunger and get all nutrients your body needs.Do not eat foods with lots of added sugars like candy bars or soda. That's because eating these foods may help you stop feeling hungry for a moment, but they are bad for your health in the long term.
Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smart.We may find "all natural" on the side of a package but it doesn't necessarily mean it's nutritious. For example, "all natural" juice drinks can be filled with sugar, which means they'll make you fat easily and give you little nutrition.
