Digital food diaries for teenagers
FoodBuddy
Do you want to eat better but find writing boring? FoodBuddy is perfect for you. You do not have to write anything. You just take a photo of your healthy meal, and the app saves it. Every time you eat vegetables or fruit, you get points. You can use these points to change the colours on your screen. You can also add your friends on the app. It is fun to see what they eat and who has the most apples in a week!
GreenPlate
GreenPlate is a brilliant app for teenagers who love cooking. The app gives you a lot of easy ideas for healthy meals. You can prepare great dinners for your family. If you forget to drink water or eat fruit, GreenPlate sends a short message to your phone. You do not need the internet to read your food diary or check the recipes. You can use it anywhere! You must pay a small amount of money before you can download this app.
HealthyMe
HealthyMe helps you understand your food better. After you eat, you write a few words about how your stomach feels. The app shows you if your food changes your sleep or your energy.

Phone screens and headaches
Oliver
I love playing video games on my mobile phone. I played them in bed every night before sleep. But my head started hurting a lot in the mornings. My mum took me to the doctor. He told me the bright light from the screen was the problem. Now, I have a new rule. I must turn off my phone at eight o'clock. It is hard because my friends play late. But I feel much better, and my head does not hurt anymore.
Sophie
Last month, I had terrible headaches every afternoon. I usually do my school homework on my phone because my computer is old. Reading long pages on a small screen was very bad for my eyes. My teacher said I should take a short break every twenty minutes. I also bought some special glasses to wear when I look at screens. They really help me a lot. Sometimes, I still feel tired, but my head is fine. I hope to get a new computer for my birthday!
Daniel
I always watched funny videos on my phone when I travelled to school on the bus. But looking down at the screen for a long time gave me a bad headache. It made me feel sick too. I decided to change my morning habit. I put my phone in my bag and do not look at it on the bus. Instead, I talk to my friends or look out the window. My headaches stopped quickly, and my journey is actually more fun now.

Advice for gamers: Rest your eyes and neck
The Short Break Rule
Do you love playing video games? It is important to look after your body. You should try to stop playing every twenty minutes. Look away from your computer and try to see a tree or a bird outside. This is great for your tired eyes. You also need to stretch your neck. Do not just look straight. Turn your head to one side and then to the other. Do this a few times before you start playing again.
The Long Game
Sometimes you want to play video games for a whole afternoon. This can make your body feel bad. When you play a long game, you must take a big break every hour. Stand up and go for a quick walk around your house. This helps your back and your neck. Your eyes also get very tired when you look at a screen for a long time. You should keep them shut for one or two minutes to give them a really good rest.
Evening Play
Many teenagers like playing video games at night. If your room is dark, the bright light from the game is bad for your eyes. You should change the picture on your TV or computer so the light is weaker. This will stop your eyes from hurting. After your game, your neck can hurt too. You should look down at the floor and then move your head in slow circles. Never move your neck too fast. Doing this will make you feel much better.
