HEALTHY EATING AND TEENAGERS
Your body grows rapidly during the teenage years.
Eating a balanced and varied diet will provide all the nutrients you need to support that
growth. Here are some tips to help you eat healthily:

STAY HYDRATED
You need plenty of water and other fluids to stay hydrated. Water and milk are best.
Sugary drinks and energy drinks contain a lot of calories and sugar but provide little to no
nutrients. They should not be consumed regularly.
Tea, coffee, energy drinks and some sugary drinks contain caffeine. If's true that caffeine
increases alertness, reaction times and ability to think clearly, but too much caffeine can
make you irritable and jittery. Limit the number of cups of coffee you drink to 1-2 per day.

LOOK AFTER YOUR BONES


You need more calcium and vitamin D as a teenager to help your bones to develop.
Teenagers need five portions of milk, cheese and yoghurt each day.
Here are some tips for getting more dairy into your diet
Have milk or yoghurtwith cereal for breakfast
Include a slice of cheese in your sandwiches
Have a milk-based dessert.
Vitamin D helps you to absorb calcium from the foods you eat.

EAT PLENTY OF IRON


You need it for energy and to su ort growth. Have iron-rich foods every day. Teenage
girls are especially at risk of low iron.
Lean red meat and liver are the best sources of iron. Other good sources are white meat,
fish, eggs, green vegetables, nuts, pulses (like peas, beans or lentils) and fortified breads
and breakfast cereals.

SPORTS
To get the most out of your sport and fitness activities you need to fuel your body with all
the nutrients it needs.

SNACKS
Rapid growth, sports and activities and study can leave you ravenous! Healthy snacks are
a great way to satisfy hunger and give you all the nutrients you need.

WHAT IS JUNK FOOD?


Junk' food is food that contains little or no nutritional
value, but harmful amounts of salt, fat and sugar.
Some foods, such as cakes, biscuits, sugary drinks,
Sweets and crisps are high in fat, sugar and salt. They
foods are usually low in vitamins, minerals and fibre.
While these foods are enjoyable to eat, it is best to only
have them occasionally and in small amounts.
If you are hungry between meals, try having some
healthier snacks such as fresh fruit or a yoghurt instead.
This will give you energy and keep you feeling full.

smoothready to serve mixture. Some reaipes will call for ice to be placed in the blender, in which case you
would use a suitable amount of crushed ice
STURRED- you can stir cocktails effectively with a metal or glass rod in a mixing glass. If ice is to be
used, use ice cubes to prevent dilution, and strain the contents into a glass when the surface of the mixing
glass begins to collect condensation

ow well do you know the cocktail you're ordering?


Here are the stories behind some of the most popular drinks.

THE MARTINI
There is not much agreement on the correct ratio of gin to dry
vermouth that makes a perfect Martini, or on the true origin of the
Martini cocktail, made famous by Janes Bond, who drinks it "shaken,
but not stirred". The drink's name probably comes from Martüni
& Rossi, an Italian company that started exporting its
vermouths to the United States in the 19th century.

THE BELLINI
This delightful wine cocktail, a blend of white

peach puree and Prosecco, has a well-established


origin Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of Venice's famous
Hary's Ba, started mixing these drinks sometime between
1934 and 1948. The pink drink reminded him of the colour of a
saint's toga in a painting by Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Belini,
so Cipriani named his concoction in honour of the painter

num, lime, and sugar in 1905 in a bar in Santiago, Cuba. By mixing together
these local ingredients, these Americans discovered a tasty potion, andit
eventually ar+ived in the United States

THE SAZERAC
Although it's not the moSt widely known drink, the Sazerac is both
delicious and one of America's oldest cocktails. The blend
of rye whiskey, bitters, sugar, and absinthe or pastis
dates all the way back to the 1830s when Creole
pharmacist Antoine Peychaud came up with the
recipe and began serving it The Sazerac became
so popular that Peychaud's apothecary business
quickdy became better known as a piace to get
a revitalising potion. Last year the Louisiana
House of Representatives prodaimed that the
drink is the offcial cockail of New Orleans
