Top Ways to Get Your Teen to Eat Healthier According to the CDC, teens generally have little variety in their diets, eat high amounts of fat and tend to take in fewer nutrient-dense foods. Also, fruit and vegetable consumption is lagging among teens. What tips and tricks do you employ in your home to get your teen to eat healthier? Jiggy123 says: "Since I can't provide every meal now that my teenager is more independent, I make sure the meals and snacks she has at home are the right choices. If fruits and vegetables are what is available instead of chips and soda, that is what they will eat! I also think being the example eventually does make a difference - even if defiance appears to be the norm for the teen years. If you show them eating healthy is a part of your life style - they WILL notice! My daughter and I enjoy shopping for groceries, cooking and working out together - it makes a big difference when they are part of the decision."
