Keeping up teens with fruits and veggies

Teenagers are more devoured by processed foods like French fries, chicken nuggets, pizza, sugary drinks, even some of the parents must be. Pandemic not just made us health-conscious but more lazy towards comfort foods. It’s not a sudden rise, teenagers are found to be following unhealthy diets right before the pandemic.

This is because the majority of teenagers aren’t consuming recommended amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables everyday. In fact, only 7.1 percent high schoolers meet fruit intake recommendations and only 2 percent eat enough vegetables. There is a colossal importance stressed upon adolescent health. Fresh fruits and fresh vegetables give essential nutrients to meet body needs that enable them to function well, think well, act super-well, cognitive function and good energy level. The intake recommendation varies for boys and girls. Girls should get 1.5 cups of fruits and 2.5 cups of vegetables while boys should eat 2 cups of fruits and 3 cups of vegetables.

The healthy edibles help with bone building by bestowing calcium and phosphorus. If teens are getting enough of these vital nutrients, they are disposed to develop diabetes, obesity and chronic illness. On the other hand, over-stuff of processed foods elevate lipids which are a marker for cardiovascular disease. Here are a few include fruits and veggies in teen’s diet.

·                     Find your comfortable and budget-friendly fruit – don’t go for expensive grubs when you can receive the same amount of energy in low-priced edibles. But remember to go for fresh ones. Happy Morning Trichy delivers fresh and tender products.

·                     Keep healthy options handy – I suggest having next-day or sooner delivery shops or e-shop within reach. Teens are random hungers. They scavenge anytime. If eatables are easy to access, you can snack on them soon with nutritious grubs.

·                     Find creative alternates just like you do for kids-  Teens are grown up kids. Incorporating fruits and vegetables into every meal is easier than you think. Think of colorful smoothies, frozen fruits etc.

·                     Taste bud –  Taste bud matures as teens grow up. So, this could be the right time to put all your creativity into cooking. Try different tastes and flavors to get to know which hits them so much. Teens are engrossed in eating outside food for taste, bring them right into your cooking.

·        Get extra energy from fruit or vegetable snacks -  The carbohydrates in fruit and vegetables are great sources of energy. Combine them with a serving of protein — such as a piece of cheese, a cup of yogurt, or a tablespoon of peanut butter, and you get staying power too.

·        Try new recipes and use veggies as ingredients –  If you love bread, bake up zucchini bread. Use applesauce instead of oils. you don't like vegetables much, sneak them into foods you do enjoy (like grating carrots into tomato sauce or, again, zucchini into bread). It's a great way to get your veggies without having to taste them!  Our bodies like variety. So try new flavors every week. Don’t stick on to one. Explore wide and eat tummy and yummy full.
