IT'S NOT JUST PHYSICAL
•Your body needs at least 8 hours of sleep each night.
•Rest allows you to build and repair new cells.
•Stress can make you physically sick.
•If you're upset about something don't hold it all in.
•If you want a healthy body, you need a healthy mind.
HANDLING STRESS
•Many teens push themselves too far.
•Parents know that everything can get to be too much.
•We tend to be more forgetful when we are over stressed.
COPING SKILLS
•Positive attitudes help overcome stressful situations.
•All teenagers should talk to someone about how they feel.
THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT BODY
•The need to achieve the perfect body can be overwhelming. And can turn into an obsession that can control your thoughts. And lead you down a dangerous, even fatal path.
•There's actually a growing problem with a new diagnostic term called, body dismorphia where, just as females are struggling with anorexia, males may be struggling with becoming buff, looking really lean and it's really a male form of an eating disorder.
ANOREXIA AFFECTS MALES AND FEMALES
•Eating disorders are brought on by a need for control.
• It is estimated that a million American males also suffer from eating disorders.
