Teen weight loss: Healthy habits count
Healthy habits are the key to teen weight loss. Show your teen the way with this practical plan for success.
By Mayo Clinic staffHave a heart-to-heart
Dispute unrealistic images
Resist quick fixes
Promote activity
Suggest breakfast
Encourage smart snacking
- Frozen grapes
- Oranges, strawberries or other fresh fruit
- Sliced red, orange or yellow peppers
- Cherry tomatoes
- Baby carrots
- Low-fat yogurt or pudding
- Pretzels
- Graham crackers
- String cheese
Watch portion sizes
Count liquid calories
Make it a family affair
- Stock up on fruits, veggies and whole grains. Keep these foods in plain sight, and be sure to set a good example yourself.
- Leave junk food at the grocery store. Healthy foods sometimes cost more, but it's an important investment.
- Keep food in the kitchen. Eat at the kitchen counter or table — not on the couch while watching TV or playing computer or video games.
- Limit screen time. Trade screen time for family activities, such as playing catch or hiking.
- Don't focus on food. Make physical activity a topic of family conversations, rather than what or how much anyone is eating.

Teen smoking: How to help your teen quit ?
Want to stop teen smoking? Follow this no-nonsense approach, from setting a good example to making a plan and celebrating success.
Set a good example
Start talking
Encourage your teen to share his or her concerns
- Smoking gives you bad breath.
- Smoking makes your clothes and hair smell.
- Smoking turns your teeth and fingernails yellow.
- Smoking causes wrinkles.
- Smoking leaves you with a hacking cough.
- Smoking zaps your energy for sports and other activities.
Help your teen make a plan
- Put it on paper. Encourage your teen to write down why he or she wants to stop smoking. The list can help your teen stay motivated when temptation arises.
- Set a quit date. Help your teen choose a date to stop smoking. Avoid placing the stop date during a stressful time, such as final exams.
- Hang out with friends who don't smoke. Would your teen's friends support your teen's stop-smoking plan? Would they try to stop smoking, too? If your teen feels pressured to smoke, encourage him or her to get involved in new activities. Making new friends who don't smoke could make it easier to avoid friends who aren't willing to stop smoking.
- Practice saying no. Peer pressure to smoke might be inevitable, but your teen doesn't need to give in. Help your teen practice saying, "No thanks, I don't smoke."
- Be prepared for cravings. Remind your teen that if he or she can hold out long enough — usually just a few minutes — the nicotine craving will pass. Suggest taking a few deep breaths. Offer sugarless gum, cinnamon sticks, toothpicks or straws to help your teen keep his or her mouth busy.
- Consider stop-smoking products. Although nicotine replacement products — such as nicotine gums, patches, inhalers or nasal sprays — weren't designed for teens, they might be helpful in some cases. Ask your teen's doctor which options might be best for your teen.
- Seek support. Contact a tobacco-cessation specialist. A tobacco-cessation specialist can give your teen the tools and support he or she needs to stop smoking. Some hospitals and local organizations offer stop-smoking groups just for teens. You might look for teen groups online, too. Web-based programs can also provide support for your teen whenever he or she needs it.

Bali Island
The Amazing Bali island
As you stumble upon the exquisite little offerings left all over the island that materialise as if by magic, you’ll see that the tiny tapestry of colours and textures is a metaphor for Bali itself.Small obviously doesn’t mean limited. The manic whirl of Kuta segues into the luxury of Seminyak. The artistic swirl of Ubud is a counterpoint to misty treks amid the volcanoes. Mellow beach towns like Amed, Lovina and Pemuteran can be found right round the coast and just offshore is the laid-back idyll of Nusa Lembongan.
- Climb volcanoes and meet Komodo dragons
- Cruise across the Bandung Strait
- Trek from Jakarta to Ubud in 2 weeks
- Experience Bali in 8 days
