Whether you take a physical education class or do other physical
activities at school, such as intramural sports, structured activities
are a sure way to feel good, look good and stay physically fit.

A healthy eating style is like a puzzle with many
parts. Each part -- or food -- is different. Some foods may have more
fat, sugar or salt while others may have more vitamins or fiber. There
is a place for all these foods. What makes a diet good or bad is how
foods fit together. Balancing your choices is important. Fit in a
higher-fat food, like pepperoni pizza, at dinner by choosing lower-fat
foods at other meals. And don't forget about moderation. If two pieces
of pizza fill you up, don't eat a third.

Take advantage of physical activities you and your friends enjoy
doing together and eat the foods you like. Be adventurous -- try new
sports, games and other activities as well as new foods. You'll grow
stronger, play longer, and look and feel better! Set realistic goals --
don't try changing too much at once.
