In my last blog post, I talked about how important Nutrition is for teens. I also stressed that portion size is very important to eating a healthy meal. You can eat less of something really good, and its twenty times better for you than a ton of junk food. I really liked this topic for teens, so I searched CNN to find some more articles related to health and fitness, and found something about portions.
One of the articles linked to the section that caught my eye was "For the Love Of Food". So I clicked on it, and found a blog run by Darya Pino, of San Fransisco. I read the article on "How to Get Started Eating Healthy Balanced Meals" because I've stressed about how important nutrition is, and now I wanted to give ideas on how to apply the information to daily life. The hardest part of nutrition is making it work for you and I think this blog has 5 great steps on how to do this.
In addition to the last website I linked to, I found a list of 25 superfoods that are great for your body. Some include blueberries, for antioxidents, walnuts for Omega 3's, and even dark chocolate for magnesium! Those are simple ingrediants that we can find in the grocery store and traste good too. Finding healthy things that you want to eat is important to maintaining a healthy diet.
Kat: You seem to be taking to the idea of discovering what's out there to read on your topic. Nice job. I'd also like you to look for blogs dealing with issues in nutrition, including things like new advances in research or even disagreements or conflict surrounding ideas surrounding related to your issue.
ReplyDeleteThink of this as a way to educate yourself on both the science and trends in your topic. Hope that helps.
Keep reading and writing.
