GOOD HEALTH

It is possible to live a longer and healthier life Some aspects of our health and vitality are governed by our genes and how our mother behaves during pregnancy, but many lifestyle factors, including fitness, diet andweight all impact on our ability to live a long and healthy life. Start young Even before we are born, ourhealth can be affected by the lifestyle choices our mother makes. Studies have shown that if an expectant mother is highly stressed this may impact on their baby, leaving them less able to handle stress later in life. Heavy drinking during pregnancy can lead to foetal alcohol syndrome in babies - which can cause a life-long learning disability as well as physical problems. Smoking can also affect their development. Research alsosuggests a pregnant woman's diet can increase herchild's risk of obesity by changing the unborn baby's DNA. Having a happy childhood mayboost longevity, as a study suggests those who are unhappy in their youth have agreater risk of heart disease as adults. Getting outdoors is also key, as sunlight is an important source of vitamin D. At present one in four childrenare deficient in this vitamin, which is needed for building strong and healthy bones. Vitamin D helps our bodies to absorb calcium and phosphorus from our diets. Is life expectancy in our DNA?

Can a teenager be inlove?

Friends from our childhood or adolescence are special, no matter how much time has elapsed between visits. These compelling connections are the resultof shared roots during the formative years. Our childhood friends and teenage sweethearts experienced with us all the wonderful, horrible, boring, and embarrassingmoments that helped to make us who we are today. Yet, when children are young, parents may regard these relationships as insignificant. If the family must move to a new community and the children's close friends must be left behind, so what? They will make newfriends, the parents assure them. But, is a friend as interchangeable as a new toy for an old one, or is there more to friendship than that? Whyare we so elated to rediscover long lost friends in our adult yearsif, as some parents believe, they were so dispensable to us as children? Even more belittled by many parents is a teenager's (or preteen's) love for a boyfriend or girlfriend. Adults refer to these relationships with demeaning language, calling them "just puppy love," and these romanticbonds are not taken seriously. Parents question the ability of teenagers to know what love is, yet they accept their teenagers' statements, "I love you, Mom & Dad," with full appreciation and at face value. If adults accept that teenagers can love parents truly, then shouldn't they also acceptthat teen romances are"real" love? Recreational dating is relatively new. Teenagersmany years ago married their first sweethearts right out of high school. These men and women of the World War II Generation married at younger ages than their Baby Boomer children or their Generation X or Millennial grandchildren. But education has becomeprolonged, so marriage islater. The age of puberty, however, has dropped. Whatever the reasons for this, reaching pubertyinfluences the age of firstlove and first sexual experience. It is rare nowto marry a first love. Today's teenagers date not for mate selection but for fun. However, the firstlove experience is no less powerful than it was in the 1940's. Adults who underestimate the strength of the bond-- or the impact of the loss -- of a first lovemay have forgotten what a blow it was when they lost their own first loves. They may even try to comfort teenagers with lighthearted lessons: a surprising number of men and women wrote to me tobitterly complain about parents who joked years ago, "Don't worry! Boyfriends/girlfriends arelike buses... a new one comes along every ten minutes!" This was not helpful, and it was not funny. The loss of a first love can be so crushing to some teenagers that they become suicidal. The pain of the breakup will subside with time, but the love may stay buried and dormant for decades. While most men and women find satisfying partners after first love breakups, there are adults who spend their married years aware that"something is missing." They continue to think about their lost first loves. Perhaps if they had married their first loves when they were younger, they tell me, they could have formed lasting and fulfilling marriages, but they will never know. These romances were interrupted - often by their parents' interference. In my recent survey of 1600 people (who had never tried a reunion witha lost love), ages 18 to 92, 56% of the participants said they would not want to go backto their first loves, 19% were not sure -- but 25%said they would! Even the adults who had no current interest in their first loves, includingthose who had only bitter memories, revealed that these early romances influenced their life-long attitudes about love, and even about themselves. The longer I study lost loves and lost love reunions, the clearer it becomes to me how important young love really is. First love, young love, is indeed reallove. This intense love does not come along every ten minutes. For some people, it may come only once in a lifetime.
