Eating Well in the Busy Buzz of Life: A Guide for Teens and Parents
By Stephanie Ray, ND, BCN
Hey there, busy teens and awesome parents! 🍔🥦
Life can sometimes feel like a whirlwind with school, sports, friends, and family. And let's be real, those tempting fast food options make things even more convenient. But wait up, we've got some cool info to help you make healthier choices together. Let's dive in!
What's the Deal with Junk Food?
Imagine this: quick burgers, crispy fried chicken, and cheesy pizzas. Sound yummy, right? But hold on! These and other treats like chips, cookies, and sugary drinks fall under the "junk food" category. They're usually made in factories with lots of steps to make them super tasty. But here's the thing – they're packed with calories but low on the good stuff our bodies need.
Why Should We Choose Wisely?
You know the feeling after eating a big burger? Tiredness, poor sleep, and even more hunger? Yep, that's the result of heavy junk foods. While sugary stuff gives a quick energy kick, it's short-lived. After a bit, our energy drops, and we might feel tired or moody.
What's Inside Junk Food?
Fast food and packaged snacks often contain a sneaky type of sugar called "refined sugar." It's like a rollercoaster for our blood sugar levels – up and then down really fast. That can lead to tiredness and cravings. Plus, junk food might lead to things like bloating, trouble concentrating, and even tooth problems.
The Happy Hormone Trick
Did you know junk food can make our brains release a "happy hormone" called dopamine? It's like a mood booster, but here's the catch: it can make us crave more junk food to keep us feeling that way. Sneaky, huh?
Tips for Navigating the Junk Food Jungle:
-
Balanced Bites: Try to eat a mix of proteins, veggies, whole grains, and fruits. It's like giving your body a power-up!
-
Homemade Love: Making meals at home lets you control what goes in your body. Get creative and have fun in the kitchen.
-
Smart Swaps: Love burgers? Opt for lean meat or even veggie patties. Craving chips? Go for whole-grain snacks.
-
Hydration Heroes: Drink water or unsweetened drinks. They're like a refreshing splash for your body.
-
Algae's Superpowers: Scientists are exploring algae for cool solutions like vitamin B12. It's important for energy, and this could be a game-changer.
