1. Exercise - Running would help Food - More meat ( recommend Fish << it also helps ur skin healthy and pretty ), less snack, Fruits would help also
2. So many people ask this, and it's sooo simple. Okay, listen up - try to drink water on restaurants instead of soda, cease regular consumption of desserts, make healthier eating choices (salmon instead of hamburger, broccoli instead of onion rings) and every so often, go to your local gym and do some strenuous workout. It also helps to go through puberty.
3. exercise alot and drink 8-10 glasses of water each day. breakfast have somthing like scrambled egg with wholemeal bread. lunch have nothing only eat until like 3pm. 3pm eat somthing like pasta with original pasta sauce at 7 eat somthing small like a banana or apple. at 1pm exercise for an hour. take a shower at 8pm and then sleep at 9pm so your not exhausted.
4. Breakfast: grits, oatmeal, whole wheat bagels (without a lot of cream cheese or butter), cereal, toast, 1-2 eggs (not fried), 1 cup of orange juice, only skim milk (or 1% milk) Lunch: turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread (without mayonnaise), soup (vegetable, chicken noodle, chicken and rice, tomato), lean/turkey hot dogs, baked potato (with only a small amount of sour cream), baked chicken, small amount of spaghetti or other pasta, vegetables (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, squash, peas, etc.), salads (only use a small amount of ITALIAN dressing.....Ranch, Ceasar, or these type dressings...stay away from...use Italian or Balsamic Vinegrette), fruit. Exercises: aerobic activity for 30 min. a day 3-4 times a week (running, walking, sports). Toning muscles: sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, squats, work out with weights (5-10 pounds) 3-4 times a week (for about 30 min. a day). Stay away from sweets and desserts. Drink only water or UNSWEETENED iced tea. Drink a lot of water (8-10 glasses a day). Reward yourself only ONE time a week for your efforts by ONLY eating one sweet/dessert a week! Have a great time!
5. Firstly your 12 years old and should not worry about such things as your still young and you body if growing, however if you want to grow into a young and healthy adult you should generally get more active you don't necessarily need to do crunches and pushups at such a young age, you could for instance go walking to school or play a sport like soccer or tennis, and as food goes you should have a good breakfast not one loaded with sugar and fat although Bacon and eggs every now and again is OK, but you eat more whole grain cereals and toast with freshly squeezed juice not the king you by at the store, as for lunch and dinner you should used a bit of common sense, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and occasionally meat unless you turn out to be a body builder in which case munch away on red meat, none the less good home cocked meals are what you’re looking for and eat as little takeaway as possible and you should be on the way to a healthier life and good luck!
