Physical-health environment during adolescence

The physical-health aspect during adolescence encompasses both physical development and the general health of young people. At this stage, adolescents experience significant body changes, which can generate insecurities and concerns related to body image. In addition, it is a period where health habits, such as diet, exercise and sleep, play a crucial role in their development. Promoting healthy habits from adolescence helps prevent long-term health problems. It is also important for parents to be alert to possible signs of eating disorders or mental health problems, such as anxiety or depression, which can manifest during this stage. Health education and access to adequate medical resources are essential to ensure that adolescents grow in a healthy and safe manner.
