Adolescent health

I am 19 years old and I'm very thin. Everything I eat but no effect is being made in my body. I want to increase my health . Please send me some tips.

Dear Vikash,

Thank you for expressing your concern. At 19, your body is still going through the "adolescent" phase. Adolescence is a phase of rapid growth and development during which physical, sexual and emotional changes occur.

The best thing you can do to improve your health at any age is to learn what good nutrition is and give your body good nutrition. Not all food has good nutrition, and poor nutrition is a primary cause of ill health.

Eating healthy food, getting regular physical activity, getting good sleep and managing stress effectively are the most important factors to spend your time on in relation to improving your physical health.

Learn about nutrition and how it helps your body to be healthy by reading the articles in the section Food, Nutrition and Health on this web site.

Sincerely,
BB
