Teen kids news about the supplements he uses to beef up. I started taking supplements when i was a senior in high school 12th grade. Hes not unusual. Its estimated that more than 12 million middle and Highschool Students are buying what are called supplements. Over several years of bodybuilding, steve has developed a regular regimen of several powders that he feels gives his body a boost. After i add the protein, ill add about a tablespoon of lglutamine, which is supposed to increase muscle endurance. You can buy these things in stores, but that doesnt mean theyre safe. Sadly, thats not the case. And why . Because these drugs are or at least these supplements are unregulated. Well, what do i mean by that . Theres no agency like the food and Drug Administration thats checking to see that whats on the label of the container is actually whats in the container. Experts say that puts people manufacturers, who cheat. Young people are taking these thinking theyre getting just protein and stuff, and whats happening is theyre actually walking themselves into something they really have no desire to do something you got to be very careful about. Theres one steroid user in every highschool classroom in america. Educating kids, parents, and coaches about supplements is one goal of the Taylor Hooton foundation. Its named for a boy who died after using steroids, and it turns out illegal steroids are showing up in supplements. There are estimates as high as 25 of those supplements have steroids in them or steroid derivatives in them, and people dont know it. But steve knows it. He told us hes well aware that sometimes the government yanks products off store shelves when steroids are discovered inside, and hes not surprised. Overall, im gonna say not really because people are gonna put whatever they want to put in steve could be playing with fire. While he says he researches each product before using it, theres no guarantee what you read is always accurate. The bottom line is you could be putting your health on the line. Steroids are not only illegal they can cause all kinds of problems, from unwanted hair to kidney failure. If you notice changes in your body after taking supplements, that could be a reason to worry. There may be more than protein in that shake. The Taylor Hooton foundation wants kids to grow and be strong naturally. The message if you choose the right foods, you wont need any supplements. Theres a connection between headaches and not drinking enough water. Keep in mind get the pun . That the average human brain is made up of about 75 water. When youre dehydrated, your brain tissue actually shrinks, and that causes pain. Just thinking of my brain shrinking is enough to give me a headache. I think ill get a big glass of water. Science and math are just for guys, my report should change your mind. For centuries, many believed that fields like science and math were beyond the abilities of women. That began changing in the early 1900s, when marie curie won a nobel prize for her work in physics. Though she shared the award with her husband, marie went on to prove that she was a worldclass scientist all on her own. In fact, she became the first person, male or female, to win two nobel prizes. Fast forward to today theres now a major effort to get more students interested in s. T. E. M. Science, technology, engineering, and math. As part of that effort, nicole reports on a website designed specifically for girls. [ midtempo music plays ] the website is called forgirlsinscience. Org. Some 3,000 female scientists working for lor\al, the sponsor of the website. So, why dont more girls go into s. T. E. M. Careers like science and math . I think part of the reason why a lot of girls arent going into those fields today is because we dont have enough role models and resources that are encouraging and inspiring the youth to be interested in s. T. E. M. Fields. Thats why, actually, lor\al usa has created a community, an online community, where girls can go and actually explore, discover, and achieve in the great world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, or the acronym s. T. E. M. [ Majestic Music plays ] well talk more about the site in a few minutes, but first let me tell you about my visit to the New York Hall of science. There i met saijah, a highschool senior. She volunteers at the hall as an explainer. With more than 300 exhibits, visitors, and saijah is perfectly comfortable talking about science. I really feel like theres no excuse for girls not be involved in science, especially if they love it. I feel like, yeah, they should definitely go into it. Its important. We need more women in science. To prove her point, saijah invited me to join her and dr. Elkhouri in one of the halls most popular demonstrations. So, what experiment are we doing today . Were actually gonna look at the ideal gas law. But first, before we begin, we need to get you a smock just for safety. Perfect. Matches my shirt. It does. [ rock music plays ] so, heres where were working . So, yeah, this is our lab table right here. So, before we begin our really cool experiment, lets put on our gloves and get our materials and meet right back here. [ music continues ] so, now that we have all our materials here, we are going to begin an activity that we have in one of our demonstrations here at the New York Hall of science called cool chemistry. Nitrogen, which is one of my favorite substances to use in any demonstration. It actually boils at negative 320 degrees fahrenheit. Wow. Thats cold. Yeah, its extremely cold. So once its in contact with Room Temperature which is about 70 degrees fahrenheit, right . It automatically starts to boil. Youre probably wondering, why the balloons . Well show you when teen kids news continues. I didnt know balloons were a [ upbeat music plays ] [ midtempo music plays ] were at the New York Hall of science, taking part in a cool chemiry demonstration. The point is to show the effect cold has on the air trapped inside each balloon. Whats keeping it inflated is its molecules that are inside of it, but lets see what happens to our awesome balloon im sorry, im having so much fun with this. [ giggles ] and were going to all right, are you guys ready . Were ready. Wow so thats it boiling at Room Temperature . Exactly. Watch carefully, and youll see how each balloon gets smaller and smaller and smaller. Bet you didnt think we could get all three balloons to fit into the pot, did you . But were not finished. Now you want to see what happens when take it out of the pot . Whats gonna happen . Lets just put it on our lab table. What do you see . Whats happening to it . It looks like its reinflating to me. Its reinflating. All right, so, can you think of any reason why that may be reinflating . The temperature from the actual outside environment is warmer, so it allows for those molecules to stretch back out and take up more volume. Rita is exactly right. Of course she is. After all, dr. Elkhouri is a highly trained scientist. So, the first part of the demonstration showed how molecules contract when exposed they can contract so much, in fact, they can change from one form of matter to another. Now, the first one we put in here was. Clear. Clear. Oh, my gosh to explain it so, since it was in there, can you guys see that liquid . Liquid. So, yeah, theres liquid inside of the balloon, and thats just because, like i said, it was in a negative320degrees fahrenheit the liquid nitrogens temperature. Those molecules get really, really, really, really close together. Does it make it actually change phases of matter . Yeah, exactly. So, why is it important for more girls to go into s. T. E. M. Fields . I think one of the biggest things right now that we need to be aware of is that, within the next 5 to 10 years, the majority of jobs that are going to be available in the market are going to require some level of s. T. E. M. Skills. And so its really critical that we try to fill our pipeline with budding scientists, if you will, so that they can become so that wed be able to fill those needs. Otherwise, were gonna have a problem in the long run. Really, really cool to have girls in science, period, cause we bring a different perspective to it. So. I think that those are the reasons. So, what area of science are you most interested in . Chemistry. Thats kind of been like my first love. I think, like, ever since i was younger, i would mix things, especially food. cause most people dont think that food and cooking and baking is chemistry, but it is. So i think, from there, i love baking and cooking and just mixing things from the time i was younger, so i think chemistry is definitely my first love in science. I would say baking is chemistry. Cooking is an art. Thats true. Thats completely different. Thats true. [ chuckles ] what do you think of the forgirlsinscience website . I think forgirlsinscience, the website, its actually pretty cool. I think its really helpful. I kind of wish they had it when i was, like, way younger, too. Thats, like, amazing. Its actually a great space for girls between the ages of 13 and 18, where they can go and explore and learn and utilize website to help jumpstart or even further their interests in s. T. E. M. Areas in a nonintimidating way. The forgirlsinscience website isnt just loaded with great information. Its also fun. You should check it out. For teen kids news, im nicole.

And really great to eat. When teen kids news they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Now you can also make it one of the tastiest meals of the day. Christina finds out how. Im in the kitchen with k. Lee graham, miss teen usa hi. How are you today . Im good. How are you . Im great. Today were gonna be making one of my favorite breakfast recipes, an apple oatmeal bowl. So its a great breakfast twist on your classic, like, bread and soup bowl, and were gonna start with our apple. Could you please wash this for me . And this is gonna be our bowl that were gonna have. All right, so, got our apple. Were just gonna slice it right in half. Okay. So then the apple is what makes up the bowl. Thats right. And its so simple. But a lot of people like baked fruit and different baked apple pie kind of things, and this is kind of a variation of that. So, were gonna scoop out the center and the core. I just cut it in half, and were just gonna go with the spoon. So, how much do you scoop out of the apple. Well, i really love the fruit part, so i just scoop out enough for the seeds and also enough to give me room to put in some oatmeal. So, ive got this one. This ones a little more shallow. And you can see weve still got tons of fruit there. Okay, so its about an inch deep . Yeah, probably about that. And then this one were gonna scoop out, as well. And then, to cut out the core, you can just use any spoon thats available to you . Yeah, it just as long as you get some good [chuckles] force behind it. Its a little difficult, and you can use a knife, but i would recommend a spoon just so its safer and its easier. Indent. Right. So, were just gonna plate this, and were gonna sprinkle on some cinnamon and also drizzle some honey, give it a little sweetness. And cinnamons so great. Its one of my favorites. Its good for your metabolism, better. I know. Mmm honey. That looks so good. Ahh i love it. And were gonna pop this in the microwave for like a minute and a half to two minutes, depending on your microwave just as tender. Okay. Back here. And im gonna put this in im gonna go for a minute and 45 seconds with this. Okay. And well test it out, and well see. [ microwave beeps, running ] all right, and while thats cooking, were gonna prepare our bowl. So, weve got our steelcut oats right here. Ive got just less than 1 2 cup. And were just gonna add the water. Mm. So, how much water do i put in here . I think is like 3 4 cup. You can just follow the instructions on the packaging of the oatmeal or you can play around with variations. Okay. I like a little bit less water cause it makes it a little more hearty. So, i do everything thats in here . Yes, everything thats in here. Sounds good. And then this will go into the microwave right after our apple. Okay, wow. So easy. I know. [ microwave beeping ] all right, so, were gonna check our apple. And it looks great. [ apple sizzling ] the honey. And were just gonna replace our oatmeal into the microwave. Im gonna go for two minutes and keep an eye on that. So, as you can see, our apples in it. It smells great. Yeah, its one of my favorite things ever. Really sweet. And were just gonna drain some of the liquid from here. Careful the apples are really hot. Now, our next step were gonna add the Peanut Butter to the apple bowl, which is one of my favorite things in the entire world. Mine too. So weve got our organic Peanut Butter here. Okay. Were just gonna scoop some of that and add a little layer to the bottom before we put in our oatmeal, so right in this indentation. Okay, so, just to layer the very bottom part. Right. It just gives it, you know, that nice little flavor that you want, and plus it adds a little bit of protein for your breakfast, because a wellbalanced breakfast is one of the key things in a healthy diet. You going all day. So this has got our protein. We got our Peanut Butter in there, and now we just need to wait for our oatmeal to finish. Awesome. Im so excited. So, our oatmeal is done. Im just gonna take it out with our oven mitt. And well be ready. Were going to put this into the apple bowl. This is gonna be our filling. Okay. Were just gonna scoop it right in. Oh, wow. That works so well. Yeah, it just its the Perfect Little bowl, and its for me, i think this is a great recipe for if youre doing a girls brunch or anything, if you just need a good healthy snack, and it looks so cute. So, were gonna top this with some cinnamon. Okay. And also some chopped walnuts we have today, but you can also add blueberries. You can chop up some strawberries really anything that you like if you want to do some chocolate chips even. Yeah, so creative. And were just gonna top those, and now its ready to eat, so we can dig right in. Wow. [ laughing ] you might need some knives for this, though. [ both laugh ] perfect. There you go. Its still a little hard to eat. But the apples nice and oh, wow, the apple is so soft. Mmhmm.
