Your body needs the correct nutrition in order for it to grow. • You should eat a healthy diet that is based on the food pyramid.
Focus on fruits • Eat a variety of fruits – whether fresh, frozen, canned or dried – rather than fruit juice for most of your fruit choices. • Try melons such as cantaloupe, berries such as blueberries, and citrus fruit such as grapefruit. • Teen girls need 2 cups of fruits each day. • Teen boys need 3 cups of fruit each day.
Vary your veggies • Eat more dark green veggies, such as broccoli, kale, and other dark leafy greens; orange veggies, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and winter squash; and beans and peas, such as pinto beans, kidney beans, black beans, garbanzo beans, split peas and lentils. • Teen girls need 2½ cups of vegetables each day. • Teen boys need 3 cups of vegetables each day.
Get your calcium-rich foods • To get 1,300 milligrams each day, drink and eat a variety of foods that are high in calcium, such as fat-free or low-fat milk, fat-free yogurt, American cheese, ricotta cheese, and fruit yogurt and consume the recommended amounts from the other food groups. • It would take 3 cups of milk to get 1,300 mg of calcium. This makes this food group the largest! • Teen boys need 2 cups of dairy a day. • Teen girls need 3 cups of dairy each day. • This means that teen girls need 30% more calcium than adults need.
Make half your grains whole • One ounce-equivalent is about 1 slice of bread, 1 cup of breakfast cereal, or ¼ cup of cooked rice or pasta. • Look to see that grains such as wheat, rice, oats, or corn are called "whole" in the list of ingredients. • Bread that is just called "wheat" bread is not the same as "whole wheat bread." • Look for "whole wheat" to know it is the healthiest option. • Teen girls need 6 oz a day. • Teen boys need 9 oz. a day.
Go lean with protein • Choose lean meats and poultry that are baked, broiled or grilled. • And vary your protein choices by also eating more fish, beans, peas, nuts, and seeds. • Teen girls need about 5½ ounces of lean protein each day. • Teen boys need 7 ounces of lean protein each day. • A 2-3 ounce serving of meat, poultry, or fish is equal to the size of a deck of cards.

Hygiene is cleanliness. • To practice good hygiene you should: • shower every day • wash your hair • brush/floss your teeth • wear deodorant • wash your hands
Of all the cruel jokes that life plays on us - sweaty armpits, stinky breath, and gym class - pimples rank right up there on the “not fair” chart. • The trouble starts when you hit puberty. At teen time, your body releases a whole mess of hormones which make the sebaceous glands in your skin go crazy!
The sebaceous glands produce sebum (oil) which keeps your skin soft but which can also become too thick and plug the follicle opening. • More sebum (oil) which normally drains to the surface gets blocked and bacteria begins to grow. • The follicles have no choice but to stretch outward to make room for all the dead skin cells that are trapped behind the sebum and bacteria mixture!
If the oil plug makes it all the way to the top of your skin but simmers just below the surface and can’t get any air you have a whitehead.
If the oil plug makes it all the way to the top of your skin and breaks through you now have a blackhead-a hunk of sebum that turned dark when the air hit it!
So what do you do if you wake up in the morning with pimples?! • Don’t panic. • Wash your face a couple times a day with antibacterial soap OR soap made for faces. Don’t wash too often because your skin will get confused, think it is too dry and produce even more sebum!
3. Over the counter products may help. • Acne/Pimples are not curable but they are very treatable. • The best way to gain control over acne is to prevent it from happening in the first place. There are a wide range of effective acne treatments available, so there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find something that works for you. • The key is consistency. Remember, even if you blemishes clear up, your acne is not cured—you still need to be diligent about your treatment plan, even once your skin looks better.
Resist the temptation to press, push, pop, or in any way touch your poor little pimple! • Messing with it not only damages the surrounding skin but it also spreads bacteria like crazy! • Doctors all say “NO”! • Remember, zits happen to everyone and once your hormones settle down they will stop making your skin so oily!
Make sure you don't fall for these common acne myths: • Popping pimples is the best way to get rid of them. • Eating fried foods or chocolate causes acne. • Stress causes acne. • Getting a tan clears up acne. • You can get rid of acne by washing your face more. • If you want to avoid acne, don't wear make-up. • Using more medicine will get rid of a pimple faster. • Acne and pimples are caused by dirt.

Sweating is the release of a salty liquid from the body's sweat glands. • This process is also called perspiration. • Sweating is an essential function that helps your body stay cool. • Sweat is commonly found under the arms, on the feet, and on the palms of the hands. I think I’m going to be sick! YUCK!!
How much you sweat depends on how many sweat glands you have. A person is born with about two to four million sweat glands. • The glands start to become fully active during puberty. • Girls have more sweat glands then boys, but boy's glands are more active. • Because sweating is the body's natural way of regulating temperature, people sweat more when it's hot outside. • People also sweat more when they exercise, or in response to situations that make them nervous, angry, embarrassed, or afraid.
There are 2 types of sweat glands in your body, eccrine and apocrine. • Eccrine glands help to cool your body down when you get overheated. • They are located all over your body but especially around your forehead, neck, and back. • Eccrine sweat doesn’t smell and is made up of water, salt, and urea (yup, the same stuff that helps make pee-pee).
Apocrine glands are the stinky ones! • These glands are located where there are lots of hair follicles, like under your arms. • These glands don’t start working until you hit puberty. • These glands make you stink because on top of the water, salt, and urea the sweat from these glands also consists of oil. • When this oily sweat mixes with the bacteria hanging out on your skin’s surface things really heat up! • The bacteria love the oily sweat and multiply and make you stink. BACTERIA!!
There are a variety of ways that you can deal with sweat and it's smelly aftermath! • When you hit puberty, it's best that you shower on a daily basis - it'll help rid your bod of the day's sticky, sweaty residue and will help keep you feeling fresh. • Wash all your clothes after you wear them. • Deodorant can help curb the smell of sweat under your arms, but won't stop you from sweating. Deodorant kills the bacteria that live under your arms, no bacteria, no smell! • A different product, called antiperspirant, will stop you from sweating as much throughout the day by blocking the pores in the skin under your arms.
The sweatiest part of your body is your feet! • Each of your tootsie is packed with about 20,000 sweat glands! • Each of your feet can produce ½ cup of sweat each day. • Bacteria love the warm, moist climate in your shoes which makes your socks, shoes, and feet stink. • Wash your feet daily. • Wash your socks after every use and change them as needed to keep your feet dry. • Wash shoes to kill bacteria.
Quick! What's the body's biggest organ? • You might be surprised to find out it's the skin, which you might not think of as an organ. • No matter how you think of it, your skin is very important. • It covers and protects everything inside your body. • Without skin, people's muscles, bones, and organs would be hanging out all over the place. • Skin holds everything together. • It also: • protects our bodies • helps keep our bodies at just the right temperature • allows us to have the sense of touch
The skin is made up of three layers, the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. • The layer on the outside is called the epidermis. The epidermis is the part of your skin you can see. • Look down at your hands for a minute. Even though you can't see anything happening, your epidermis is hard at work. • At the bottom of the epidermis, new skin cells are forming. • When the cells are ready, they start moving toward the top of your epidermis. • This trip takes about 2 weeks to a month. • As newer cells continue to move up, older cells near the top die and rise to the surface of your skin. • What you see on your hands (and everywhere else on your body) are really dead skin cells.
These old cells are tough and strong, just right for covering your body and protecting it. • But they only stick around for a little while. • Soon, they'll flake off. • Though you can't see it happening, every minute of the day we lose about 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells off the surface of our skin. • So just in the time it took you to read the last 3 slides, you've probably lost about 40,000 cells. • That's almost 9 pounds of cells every year! • But don't think your skin might wear out someday. • Your epidermis is always making new skin cells that rise to the top to replace the old ones.
Keep It Clean! • Unlike other organs (like your lungs, heart, and brain), your skin likes a good washing. • When you wash your skin, use water and a mild soap. • Wash all your clothes after you wear them. • This gets rid of the dead skin cells hiding in your dirty clothes along with oil, sweat, and dirt! • Wash your sheets every week. • This prevents dust mites from making their home in your bed! • Dust mites are tiny, ugly bugs that eat dead skin cells - ew!

The official word for bad breath is halitosis. • Your mouth produces saliva throughout the day while you are awake keeping your mouth moist and killing bacteria. • At night you don’t produce as much saliva and with no spit to wash away bacteria it multiplies. • Typically in your mouth you have about 10 billion bacteria during the day and this number sky rockets at night!
Plaque, tartar, gingivitis, and cavities all contribute to bad breath. • Plaque: a sticky, see-though film made of mucus and food particles. • Tartar: stony substance made up of hardened plaque and minerals. • Gingivitis: bacteria and plaque living below your gum line. • Cavities: holes in your teeth. • All of these are magnets for bacteria! More bacteria means a stinky mouth.
To fight bad breath you should: • Brush your teeth AT LEAST 2 times a day. • Use dental floss to clean between your teeth, a favorite hiding place for bacteria. • Brush your tongue. • Drink a little water after you eat. • Eat carrots, celery and other healthy snacks to help fight plaque. BACTERIA!!
To stay healthy you should get at least 20 minutes of exercise a day. • Fun ways to exercise: • rollerblade • skateboard • baseball • football • surfing

A habit is something that a person has done so often without thinking about it that it becomes hard to stop. • Healthy habits include: • sleeping for eight hours a night • brushing your teeth twice a day • wearing deodorant • eating healthy • covering your mouth when you sneeze
As fifth graders anticipate middle school, they know that there will be many changes. There will be new friends, classes and schedules, and even a variety of cafeteria foods from which to choose. Additionally, there will be changes as their adolescent bodies grow. Growth during adolescent years is controlled by the endocrine system. The endocrine system is a group of organs that releases hormones into the bloodstream. Hormones are special chemicals that direct some of the body’s activities such as growth and development, energy levels and behavior. Hormones also control the way some organs of the body work and the body’s use of food. Finally, hormones are responsible for a special stage of life called puberty. Puberty is the time during adolescence when boys and girls become capable of producing a new human being. For most girls, puberty between 9-15, and boys usually begin puberty between 11-17. Some changes caused by hormones during puberty happen quickly and are visible on the body. Other changes are slower and occur inside the body.
Below is a list of changes which occur during puberty. Label each change accordingly: G=change affecting girls, B=change affecting boys and BG=change that affects boys and girls.
Pituitary Gland Thyroid Gland Adrenal Gland Pancreas Ovaries Testicles
Pituitary Gland – The gland at the base of the brain which is responsible for producing hormones that regulate growth and development at puberty. Thyroid Gland – The largest gland of the endocrine system, located in the neck, which produces the hormone thyroxin and regulates metabolism. Adrenal Glands – a pair of glands, located above the kidneys, which produce the hormones adrenaline and cortin.
Ovaries – Two small glands, one on either side of the uterus, that contain a woman’s egg cells and produce the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Testicles – also called testes, the two oval-shaped organs contained in the scrotum. Pancreas – produces insulin which helps break down fats and sugar, improper functions leads to diabetes.
Attitude is a state of mind or feeling with regard to some matter. • Having a good or positive attitude can affect your health. • It will help you to be less stressed which helps you to remain healthier.
hygiene – cleanliness • habit - is something that a person has done so often without thinking about it that it becomes hard to stop. • attitude - a state of mind or feeling with regard to some matter • adolescence – the period of life between childhood and adulthood (ages 11-21)
puberty – the time during adolescence when a boy or girl becomes capable of producing another human being. • endocrine system – a system of organs that release hormones into the bloodstream. • hormones – chemicals that direct some of the body’s activities.
