Teenagers today spend hours sitting at a computer. Some teenagers even stay up late.

In the last letter, you said you were interested in the school club I started last year. You asked me what pushed me to do so.
Well, the answer came to me when searching for a topic for the school work. I found that many U. S. teens weren’t even eating one piece of fruit or vegetable daily! If I can help others put more vegetables and fruits into their daily meals, I would surely do that.
So, I started “Lettuce Eat” as well as a website with nutrition（营养）tips. Here I want to share some cool tips with you.
If you dislike eating vegetables, here’s a tip for you: Put vegetables into meals without having to taste them. It got me to eat vegetables that I don’t like, such as cauliflower or carrots. I mix（混合）vegetables with meat and use them in noodles or other dishes.
Sometimes you don’t even need to make a difficult dish. By just adding something on the side, you can greatly increase the nutrients you get out of the meal. For example, tomatoes have a lot of vitamin C. If you add tomatoes to rice and beans, you will get more iron.
I think my most useful lesson was knowing the importance of having “3 square meals” so that I wouldn’t be very interested in unhealthy snacks（点心）. In the past, I often snacked a lot on chips and chocolates and got into a bad habit of eating too much between meals, then not being hungry enough for a healthy meal, and then being hungry again for snacking... and this would go on and on. Now I know that I need to have a complete meal, including vegetables and other healthy food, and I have now given up most of my unhealthy snacking.
There is so much to learn about nutrition. Although I only spent about a year on my club, it turned out to be a fun way to give useful information to teenagers. I hope you will join us as well!
Yours,
Vivian Jibrin
