That said, making healthier choices of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, low fat dairy and whole grains/pastas will help. Here is the website of the National Institutes of Health for Teens .. this information is most useful and targeted to your age range to teach you how to eat and exercise in a healthy manner.

Bicycling also uses our legs but is not as jarring as walking. With your legs going numb, you may want to check with your physician and make sure there is not an underlying cause that may need to be addressed.

Today I walked about 1 1/2 miles with my dog. I walk daily, but the length varies.
