READ: Choices You Make Affect Growth
Your body needs special care as it goes through the physical, mental, and emotional changes of puberty. Exercise and nutrition are two important ways to support your growing body. This lesson provides tips about exercise and nutrition and about other ways of taking care of your body.
How do exercise and proper diet help your growing body?
You may know that exercise is good for you physically, but did you know it is also very good for you mentally and emotionally? People who exercise regularly are likely to sleep better. They feel more confident, and they are better able to focus on their schoolwork.
Exercise also reduces emotional stress. If you are feeling sad, exercise often helps you feel better. Some people do their best problem solving during a run or a walk.
It's important to plan an exercise program you will enjoy. If you have a good time while exercising, it will be easier to exercise regularly. Exercise is usually more fun when you work out with a friend and vary the kinds of exercise you do. Choose activities that increase your endurance, strength, and flexibility. All three of these physical qualities are important for total fitness.
During puberty your body is changing in many ways. You need a healthful diet that supplies you with energy and helps you grow. The food you eat affects how you look and feel, how well you resist disease, and how well you perform mentally and physically.
The amount of energy released by food is measured in units called Calories. An apple gives you about 80 Calories, while a slice of pizza gives you about 290 Calories. The number of Calories in the food you eat should match your body's needs. Too many Calories and too little exercise will cause you to gain weight. Too few Calories will cause you to be too thin and to lack energy. Both extremes put your growth and health at risk. Exercising and choosing healthful foods are important ways to show that you are growing up and able to take responsibility for yourself.
How do other choices affect your growing body?
As with exercise and a healthful diet, sleep and relaxation, or rest, also affect your growth and health. When you sleep, you give your body time to recover from your daytime activities. Much of your body's growth takes place while you sleep. It is also during this time that the body repairs damaged tissues and releases built-up stress.
No two people have exactly the same need for sleep. The amount of sleep that is right for you is unique to your body. You are probably getting enough sleep if you fall asleep easily and wake up feeling rested.
Sometimes the hormones that are active during puberty change sleep patterns slightly. You may feel that you want to stay up later at night and sleep longer in the morning. If you have an early school schedule, this sleep pattern will be difficult to follow.
Getting to sleep on time will be easier if you plan an evening routine that helps you relax and prepare your body for sleep. On weekends, try to avoid going to bed late and getting up late. This disrupts your regular sleep pattern and can make it hard to return to your normal cycle.
The changes of puberty can add a great deal of stress to your life. Some stress is normal, but too much stress can make you feel nervous and irritable. When you have too much stress, it is hard to concentrate. Over time, too much stress can lead to physical symptoms, such as headaches or an upset stomach.
You can do many things to manage stress and keep it under control. Give yourself time to relax every day. Reading, drawing, listening to music, playing with a pet, or being out in nature are good ways to relax. You can also avoid stress by learning to manage your time and by setting realistic goals for yourself.
Taking good care of your body includes making choices about your personal hygiene (HY jeen), or cleanliness. As your body changes, new perspiration odors and skin problems can make cleanliness an important concern. Develop a daily routine you can do before you go to bed or before school in the morning that includes cleaning your entire body from your face and your teeth down to your toes.
REMEMBER...Healthful choices about exercise, diet, rest, and hygiene can make puberty a positive time of growth and development. Information about how choices you make affect your health can help you develop positive program for taking care of your body.
