"Doctor: Good morning, students! Today, I want to share some simple daily habits that help teenagers maintain a healthy lifestyle.
First of all, right after waking up in the morning, you should drink a glass of warm water. It refuels your body and helps your digestive system.
Secondly, sleep is extremely vital for growing teenagers. You need to get between eight and nine hours of sleep every night so that your brain can recharge properly.
Next, pay close attention to your daily diet. You should avoid fatty fast food and sugary soft drinks because they can lead to obesity and acne. Instead, choose vegetables, tofu, and fresh fruit.
Finally, make sure you take up an outdoor hobby such as cycling, swimming, or jogging. Exercising outdoors reduces screen time, keeps your body active, and protects your eyes. Thank you for listening!"
