Eating healthy is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and is something that should
be taught at a young age. The following are some general guidelines for helping your
adolescent eat healthy.

 Eat 3 meals a day, with healthy snacks.

 Increase fiber in the diet and decrease the use of salt.

 Drink water. Try to avoid drinks that are high in sugar. Fruit juice can have a
lot of calories, so limit your adolescent's intake. Whole fruit is always a better
choice. 

 Eat balanced meals.

 When cooking for your adolescent, try to bake or broil instead of fry.

 Make sure your adolescent watches (and decreases, if necessary) his or her
sugar intake.

 Eat fruit or vegetables for a snack.

 Decrease the use of butter and heavy gravies.

 Eat more chicken and fish. Limit red meat intake, and choose lean cuts when
possible.

.
ADOLESCENCE is the transitional phase of growth and development between
childhood and adulthood. It is also termed as the age of puberty. The World Health
Organization (WHO) defines an adolescent as any person between the ages 10 and
19. This period is characterized by growth spurt and other bodily changes. Timing,
duration and intensity of growth vary from one individual to another.

Nutritional needs during adolescence are increased because the increased growth
rate and changes in body composition associated with puberty. Male and female
adolescents have different needs during this crucial time of growth.

For teenagers, maintaining a healthy diet will make the person look and feel better.
Having a proper diet will make one’s skin and hair healthier and help achieve one’s
ideal weight. Eating right helps them look better, feel better, and stay healthier.
Teens become stronger and think more clearly, thus may even perform better in
sports and get better grades.

Here is a sample meal based on Pinggang Pinoy for teens.

The Pinggang Pinoy for teens shows the recommended proportion by food group in
every meal for male and female adolescents. It includes a variety of food per meal
from each of the three food groups:go foods—energy-giving foods, grow foods—
body-building foods and the glow food—body-regulating foods.

Basic Food Groups

(examples)
ENERGY-GIVING FOODS BODY-BUILDING FOODS BODY-REGULATING
FOODS
Bread Cheese Cucumber
Pasta Beef Eggplant
Rice Pork Cabbage
Cereals Fish Radish
Potatos Chicken Citrus
Apple Red beans Berries
Banana Milk
Eggs

Similar to the Pinggang Pinoy for other population groups, the Pinggang Pinoy for
teens shows that half of the plate is for glow foods with a greater proportion of
vegetables than fruits. This means that they should eat more vegetables than fruits.
The other half consists of go and grow foods, with go foods of greater proportion
compared to the grow foods. The go foods is represented by rice which is the
primary energy source of Filipinos; other go foods are corn, bread and root crops.
The grow foods is represented by milkfish, locally known as bangus, which is a
commonly eaten fish. Other examples of grow foods are meat, eggs, poultry, fish
and legumes. The glow foods is represented by banana, one of the favorite fruits in
the country and by malunggay, a popularly grown vegetable with various beneficial
uses.
