The aim of this project is to promote healthy lifestyle choices among adolescents aged 12-18. We cover the essential components involved in maintaining a healthy weight, including diet, exercise, stress, and sleep. We also highlight the importance of adequate sleep and effective stress management techniques, both of which are fundamental to overall wellness and maintaining a healthy weight.
