The best way to live a long, healthy life is to take a look at your eating habits. My eating habits included processed food and I love brownies. When I started weight lifting to stay in shape for football, I realized I needed more protein and vegetables in my diet and water rather than sugary drinks. After diligently researching recipes, I was able to come up with a healthy plan of eating and I was able to turn body fat into lean muscle. A healthy dietary plan, and physical exercise several times a week, go hand in hand. It took some adjusting, and a lot of discipline on my part. But, I was able to reach the goals I set for myself. Another component for a healthy life is getting a good night of sleep. Set limits and don’t overdo the electronic devices. That’s a hard choice for a teen, but sleep restores the body. I have much more energy and I feel if I take care of my body now, I will live a long, healthy life.
