Two new studies show how poor habits can impact your mental well-being. One analysis of teens around the world showed that drinking sugary beverages, like sodas and energy drinks, was associated with a 34 percent increase in symptoms of anxiety. Another study looked at excessive screen time among preteens and young teens. Spending too much time using social media or playing video games was linked to symptoms of depression, attention issues, and behavior problems. Your teen years are the perfect time to practice healthy habits that will serve you for life. You can take small steps every day to benefit your physical and mental health, from eating well and limiting screen time to exercising and practicing mindfulness.
