Step 1 - Know how good nutrition helps your body stay healthy
Have a food-log challenge with friends. Make an exact and honest list of everything (everything!) you eat for a week. Swap your list with a friend and analyze each other's choices. Decide on two changes you can make that will result in healthier eating habits, and put them in action for the next week
Step 2 - Find out how what you eat affects your skin
Get enough water. Scientist used to think that everyone needed to drink eight glasses of water a day, but most researches now think that number is too high. Find out the best amount of water for your age and activity level, and come up with three clever ways to get enough water every day. Practice for a week - and see if you can get others to join in
Step 3 - Explore how your diet affects your stress level.
Food makeovers. Find three foods that are high in sugar, fat, or salt, and make a healthier choice, either by substituting another food or creating new recipes that use healthier ingredients. Food magazines are great resources for this.
Step 4 - Investigate how what you eat affects your sleep.
Make an illustrated chart of snooze/lose foods. These are foods that help you sleep and those that keep you awake. Post it near your bed and keep a journal for a week to see what works for you and what doesn't.
Step 5 - Look at how your diet affects your energy.
Create a chart or blog post. Explain the ways the fiber and vitamins in five different fruits can help you stay energized and why.
