Adolescent health

Adolescence is the phase of life between childhood and adulthood, from ages 10 to 19. It is a unique stage of human development and an important time for laying the foundations of good health.
Adolescents experience rapid physical, cognitive and psychosocial growth. This affects how they feel, think, make decisions, and interact with the world around them.
Despite being thought of as a healthy stage of life, there is significant death, illness and injury in the adolescent years. Much of this is preventable or treatable. During this phase, adolescents establish patterns of behaviour – for instance, related to diet, physical activity, substance use, and sexual activity – that can protect their health and the health of others around them, or put their health at risk now and in the future

Yeah adolescents also need to care for their health because there's no specific age that one can kick the bucket so it is up to every human to care for their health. Only that when it comes to adolescents they might need help from their parents or guardians so that they really know how to go about it.

Just like with adultss it is pertinent that the teenagers take care of their different body parts this will increase the health value that they have. They can start by taking out time to exercise. Exercise is a good way by which they can exercise their muscles and strengthen their bones.

They can also meditate to help them grow heathy from the inside. Sometimes the body just need to be in a secluded place to destress abd this what the moments of meditation offers the body
