Ensuring a balanced diet is crucial for our health, particularly if we happen to be teenagers. During puberty and physical development, we need a healthy balanced diet to ensure that our development is sufficiently fuelled and allowed to take its natural course. During the teenage years it is important to ensure a correct balance between the carbohydrates, fats and proteins that we need to remain healthy.

You should ensure that a major component of every meal is carbohydrate. Complex carbohydrates like pasta, give a steady release of energy throughout the day, helping fend off tiredness and stave hunger until mealtimes. It is thought that around 40% of every meal should consist of carbohydrates, which should provide the bulk of daily calorie content.

In addition to that, it is important to include proteins and fats. Meats, fish, vegetables, eggs, dairy products – they are all essential parts of a healthy balanced diet and should be included as far as possible in the daily diet, making up the remaining 60% of every meal.

A potential problem can arise in the teenage years when political activism and social concern begin to develop, in the form of becoming a vegetarian. It is important that you respect the wishes of your child, and allow their intellectual development to take its course without interfering too much, but it is also crucial that you explain the problems this causes in terms of health.

It is also important to ensure that you are not too restrictive in your dietary selection for your teenager, and it is crucial to remain ‘on side’ to prevent resentment setting in. Resentment can be fatal to your attempts to promote a healthier lifestyle, so it is crucial that you try to remain fair, and consider the views of your teenager when working with your dietary plan.

A healthy, balanced diet is not too tricky a goal to reach. With some careful consideration and variety and depth, you can keep meals interesting whilst ensuring they are covering all the bases as far as nutrients are concerned. It is also important to talk to your teenager, and let him or her know that you are their in support all the way, without being patronizing, and let them know the importance of keeping rigidly to a healthy balanced diet, combined with a course of exercise for a healthier lifestyle. Keep your teenager in mind throughout the whole process, and remember being a teen is difficult enough, so go easy on them, but make sure they appreciate a balanced diet and its importance for general health.
