Fluids help to keepyour body in balance
Our bodies are made up of 60% water so we mustreplenish what we use. We rid our bodies of water by sweating, breathing, urinating and evaporation through our pores.We need to replenish this water and we have many choicesNot all of them are as healthy as others.Sugar drinks, such as soda are high in calories and can leadto obesity.Sports drinks and energy drinks also contain sugar.As with all things we must keep balance in our lives.Healthy choices are water and low fat milkDrink plenty of water!

RESTORING
BALANCE=REST
Rest is needed to restore balance
Sleep deprivation
70% of high school students do not get enough sleepon school nights.
Insufficient sleep was linked to behaviors such as:
-Drinking regular soda more than once a day-Less than 60minutes of physical activity 5 times a week-Computer use more than 3 hours a day-Smoking-Drinking alcohol-Sexual activity-Feeling sad or hopeless
Healthy bodies need to be in balance.
Everything in balance
Childhood obesity facts
In 2008, more that one-third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. Overweight means having excess body weightfrom fat, muscle, bone, water or combination of these factorsobesity means having excess body fat.
This results from a caloric imbalance, too few caloriesburned off to the amount taken in.
Obesity in childhood can lead to health problems as an adult, suchas high blood pressure and high cholesterol which can cause heartproblems. It can also lead to Type II diabetes.
Eat what you burn to maintain healthy living
Too much of a good thing
Balance is key in health and exercise.
Just as too little exercise and too many calories can lead to problems so can too much exercise and too few calories.
Some of these problems are:
-weak bones-increase in injury-loss of menstrual periods-disordered eating-mood changes
If you are going to the Galleria in your car, you make sure you have enough gas….if you are going to the local store, you won’t need as much gas.If you are sitting on the couch, you don’t need as much fuel as you do when you are exercising.If you eat the same amount for both activities, you are going tostore the food as fat to be burned later, but if you continually eat more than you burn, you will continue to add fat to yourbody to store and end up obese.The same holds true if you don’t eat enough, your body will burnmuscle to give you energy and you will begin to have health problems. Too much or too little can both lead to life long health problems.
For a person who practices 30 minutes to at least 60 minutes or more of moderate physical activity, the number of calories that they should eat:
Girls------------14-18 years old 2000-2400 caloriesBoys------------14-18 years old 2400-3200 calories
We need fat for energy and for absorption of nutrients.We need carbohydrates for energy, excess is stored as fat.We need protein for our bodies health, to grow and repair muscle
Vitamins for healthy bones and teeth.Minerals for our body to function well, iron helps deliver oxygen in our bodies blood.If we continually cut out one of these food sources our bodieswill begin to suffer.

A bowl of pasta will give you 180 calories.
Enough energy to walk brisklyfor 50 minutes.
A slice of pizza 230 calories.
