The American Academy of Pediatrics says many teens try enhancing their looks with risky supplements. As you can probably guess, boys, go for steroids, protein supplements, and creatine, which boosts energy. Girls are more likely to pop over-the-counter diet pills. But these supplements aren’t regulated – and can be contaminated with toxic ingredients, like lead and mercury, and stimulants like amphetamines. So make sure your teen stays away from those supplements. If they want more muscles – or to lose weight – let them know they’re great, just as they are. And encourage them to make changes safely… with healthy food and an appropriate amount of exercise.

Research now points to pizza! The University of Illinois studied more than 12,000 kids over a 7-year span. And the research found that on the days when teens eat pizza, they consume 230 more calories overall. The problem is that they don’t cut back on their other meals on pizza days. So the researchers suggest that when we let our kids have pizza, we pair it with an equal amount of salad or a vegetable. So, 2 slices plus a salad, instead of letting kids eat 4 slices on their own.
