Olivia is 17 years old and attends The American School of London. Olivia believes that educating the youth about living a healthy lifestyle, whether it be through exercise or diet, is the first step in living a happier and less stressed life. After eliminating dairy products and red meat from her diet just last year, she noticed a significant difference in the way that she was feeling. She grew more mindful of the types of foods that she was putting into her body, and how they were affecting her. While an alteration to her diet was a big change- being the chocolate and desert lover that she is- she found healthier options that were just as delicious, yet she didn’t have the same horrible feeling in her stomach that she did after eating multiple slices of pizza and chocolate cake. Dancing has been important to her for the entirety of her life, however, the workload of junior year was restrictive to her schedule. With all this work and no exercise, she found it harder to concentrate on school, and her stress levels were growing. Olivia turned to working-out, and found that physical activity was the missing link in this equation. A healthier lifestyle was what enabled Olivia to find success this year, and proved to be beneficial for her mind and body.
