Junk food is so out!

...And eating healthy is in!

Your thoughts (60)

As girls our bodies consume a lot of energy. That’s why we always want those snacks, biscuits and sugary drinks.

Gala and La Casera taste really good. But they aren’t good for a growing body.

The earlier you ditch junk food and sugary drinks and start eating healthy, the better for you

Why eat better?
Eating well isn’t about your weight. It is about your health. You might be able to eat all sorts and not add a kilo. But it hurts your body. Because you are still growing, your body needs a lot of nutrients. You need to eat healthy to get those nutrients. That’s the only way to keep your body and mind strong.

Replace sugary drinks with water
We know water may not be the most fun or exciting drink. But it is the best thing for your body. It’s essential to our health. Water makes up a whopping 60 percent of our bodies. We lose large amounts of it during the day. From sweating, urinating, even just breathing. We constantly need to replace it.

Feel like water is too boring? Spice it up with fruits like lemon or orange.

Eating healthy is a gift to yourself.

You are not doing it for anybody but for yourself

You’ve only got one body! Love it and keep it healthy!

leave her alone it's her life

Hey Pulchritude! You just need to tell her the dangers of eating so much junk or better still, advice her to eat healthy instead of eating junk. In the end, you can only advice her but you can't force her to do what she doesn't want to do. We hope this helps.

Hey 12345! First of all, you are beautiful the way you are. Secondly, everyone has a unique body structure so this means you are unique. Two people can't have the same shape no matter how hard they try. So please love yourself the way you are because you are very unique. Look at the mirror everyday and tell yourself that you are indeed a true beauty and nobody can be like you.

Hey Dola! You can stop once you realize the dangers of eating junk. You are in control of what you eat. First start with reducing the amount of junk foods you eat then you can gradually stop at once. All you need to do is to make a conscious effort to stop. You need to encourage yourself and remember it is for your own good. We hope this helps.

Dola same here

Hey Nini! First of all, you are beautiful the way you are. Secondly, everyone has a unique body structure so this means you are unique. Two people can't have the same shape no matter how hard they try. So please love yourself the way you are because you are very unique. Look at the mirror every day and tell yourself that you are indeed a true beauty and nobody can be like you. People will always talk but it is how you treat yourself that people will treat you. Learn to love yourself the way you are and you will see that people will begin to respect and appreciate your height too. We hope this helps

when my friend wanted to get shorter she started carrying heavy loads on her head but i don't advice you to do that do you know that if you were shorter you will also be wishing to be taller? so love the way you are 'CAUSE YOU'RE AMAZING JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!!!!

Nini don't think of getting shorter because lots of people out there wished they have a height like yours the only thing I want you to do for me is to remember you are unique and nobody is like you,you are special girl whether short or tall.

Hey bester! A lot of things can cause sagging breasts but sometimes, your breasts may not sag but rather, it may be the way it is meant to be. A solution is to know your proper bra size and wear it. Make sure your breast is well covered (armpits and sides too). We hope this helps.

Hey Springster! You should try changing your diet to a more healthy diet and also you should exercise. Do exercises centered around the tummy like situps, planks, leg raises, etc. We hope this helps.

Water can also make us feel free and refreshed It drys our thirst and make us healthy

Hey Stephie! Water is tasteless. It is probably a thing of the mind. Water is very good for the body and skin too. You can try sweetening it by adding your favorite fruit to it. We hope this helps.

Hey Derinsola! Thanks for the comment. Addictions are hard to get over but with determination, you can stop it. You can try taking fruits as substitute for some junk foods you like. Instead of taking a soft drink, you can take infused water (fruits soaked inside water). Take these little steps and you will definitely get there. We hope this helps

try fasting

Ya maybe u should try fasting but junks might tempt u

Yes it's true, even most of the drink( when taken too much) can damage some organs in the body.

i prefer junks food to normally food,how can i stop it

March 20, 2022, 7:58 p.m.

Hey jsquare! Thanks for the comment. The fact that you like junk food does not mean that it is the best for you. You need to know that your body needs the best food and nutrients for growth and junk food cannot give that to you. So preferring it does not make the best option. Remember that you have the power to choose, choose wisely. We hope this helps

i try my best to stop eating junk but i cant because i am surrounded by it everyday

Hey Springster! We are all surrounded by different things everyday but we choose the things that we want. This is where the power of choice comes to play. Your body needs the right food and nutrients to grow so you need to feed it with the right things. Choose what is better. We hope this helps
