Without there proper vitamins, minerals, and amounts of protein, calcium etc your body might grow deficient of these, leaving drastic side effects. A simple way to fight against this is to eat a well balanced and nutritious diet, containing sensible portions of the foods in the food chart to your left My survey data told me a lot about peoples eating habits, and preferred foods. I found that my most consumed food was fruit, as per day 64 items of fruit was eaten by my collective Audience. I also found that their most popular food was Meat, which out of the twenty, five selected as their favorite food A recommended way I would take to eat healthy, is to consume not necessarily smaller but balanced portions, try new things, and snack less, (wait until main meals to eat)

On average a child usually needs sixty minutes of exercise seven times a week, to help keep the developing body fit, setting it up for later life. As a Human being gets older, the average exercise drops to 5 times a week, for 45 minutes. Key Facts: Average Required Exercise for Child:60 Mins Every Day Average Required Exercise for Adult: 45 Mins 5 Days/Week Though it was the least popular of the three challenges, I think it was quite a good challenge to undertake, because there are so many activities for young children to undertake, with all the extra curricular activities. A recommended way I would undertake this challenge is to take up two new sports, and participate in them at least once a week. A good idea for a sport to take up is running/jogging.
