NEED HELP PLEEZ! How can i b more healthy?
Question:
I am 13.
I looked online and it said I have a BMI of 18.9. Is that good?
I like hot chocolate and I have it about once every month except in winter- when i have it at LEAST once every two days. In the summer I drink A LOT of orange juice coz it's yummy and healthy. Is that bad too? I don't over eat and usually I'm the 1st one done eating at the dinner table. I only take seconds at breakfast when I'm having cereal. I dont drink enough water- but plenty of milk!
Sports i do:
soccer-fall
cross country-fall
softball-summer
and i think thats it. should i do more sports?
I love to run, but i hate running at my house. i like to train and compete- like in cross country.
PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE!
Am I HEALTHY? COULD I BE MORE HEALTHY?
Please help!
Best answer gets 10 pnts!
Answers:
you're definitely healthy, and you need that good food and a variety, for your bones to grow and be strong. Now is not the time to be concerned about your weight, you'll lose weight (if you need to) when playing the sports you mentioned. Don't worry about losing weight till you're 21. Your body is still changing. You're doing great. Keep up the good work. And keep up your studies as well. You need A's.
Sounds like you're doing great. But watch the orange juice intake. It is a lot of sugar, and sugar is the worst enemy of us all! Eat an orange instead, so you get all the pulp and fiber.
Eat more slowly. It is better for your body and digestion. And drink more water. Are you getting enough greens?
A little hot chocolate never hurt anyone, but watch your sugar intake. Good luck!
Normal weight for BMI is 18.5-24.9. So I would say you are healthy. BMI is not the best way to tell if you are healthy though. You could have two people the same weight and height that are completely different, as muscle weighs more than fat. BMI is more to help overweight people get to a safer general weight. As long as you eat health and exercise (as it seems you do) any snacks you have in moderation will not have a significant negative impact. Eat lots of fruits and veggies and drink lots of water.
