Your body probably needs more exercise. Make sure your body is having fun by being active for at least 60 minutes a day. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. High sugar foods like candy and soda taste good but can actually slow you down; enjoy them once in a while. Ask your mom to buy low fat or nonfat milk and yogurt.
