Get off the sofa!
Sure, it is comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. But doctors say you should get off the sofa. To keep fit, you have to walk at least 10,000 steps every day. In the past, people’s jobs required more physical effort. They often had to walk for miles every day. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: Do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past?
Eat healthy food!
It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example, fruit and vegetables. Fast food is not healthy. You should only have it once in a while. Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health.
Rest while you can!
When we were babies, we slept for much of the night. Teenagers do not need as much sleep as babies, but it is important for you to get about eight hours’ sleep a night. At weekends, you have got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest too.
Do not worry. Be happy!
Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health. Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school, exams or friendships. If you are worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher.

10 . You might feel full after having a big meal. But you may actually suffer from“hidden hunger”. This means that what you eat may fill your stomach, but it's not giving you the proper nutrition (营养) that your body needs.
This happens when food lacks the vitamins (维生素) and minerals (矿物质). They are what people need to keep healthy, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
At present, “hidden hunger”affects 2 billion people worldwide. These people include 300 million people in China. It is most commonly seen among children and teenagers. It can also result in a bad immune system (免疫系统), blindness or even death, China News Service reported.
Many Chinese people don't get enough iron (铁), calcium (钙), vitamin A and vitamin D. One main reason is that agricultural products don't have much of these nutrients. Over 40 percent of China's farmland is losing its vitamins and minerals, lowering the nutritional value of the crops that grow on it, according to Xinhua.
Many of the processed foods that people enjoy eating today, such as chips, burgers and cookies, have made the situation worse. Vitamins and minerals are easily lost when these foods are processed, People's Daily noted.
In response, China's government has created several action plans to improve public health. It also develops and promotes nutritious foods.
Eating more fresh nutrition-rich food like vegetables, whole grains and milk can help us keep healthy. For vegetables like carrots and broccoli (西兰花), boiling and steaming, can better preserve (保留) their nutrition when compared with frying them, CNN suggests.
