Teen Wellness: Tips and Resources for Building Healthy Habits.
Tips and Resources for Teen Wellness
For teens, it can feel like everything is changing. Their bodies, their minds, and even their social circles change.
One of the best ways you can support your teen is to help build a solid base of healthy habits. The resources below help you do just that.
A balanced diet is the foundation of good teen health. That means three wholesome meals a day, and nutritious snacks in between. To get there, fill your kitchen with washed fruits and vegetables, cheese sticks, or single-serving packs of yogurt and nuts.
