FACTS ABOUT TEEN EATING HABITS
Healthy Teens Going Green is designed to promote better health in teens with healthy eating alternatives.
Facts:
Most U.S. youth do not meet the recommendations for eating 2½ cups to 6½ cups of fruits and vegetables each day.
Do not eat the minimum recommended amounts of whole grains (2–3 ounces each day)
Eat more than the recommended maximum daily intake of sodium (1,500–2,300 mg each day) .1,3,7
Males aged 12–19 years drink an average of 22 ounces of full-calorie soda per day, more than twice their intake of fluid milk (10 ounces).
Females drink an average of 14 ounces of full-calorie soda and only 6 ounces of fluid milk.
Parents can give younger children healthy foods, but because older children spend so much unsupervised time with their peers, this has a great effect on their food choices.
Promoting better eating choices in teens leads to healthier adults that require less medical care for diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and more.
