From BDT 400
Adolescence, or the teenage years, is a critically important period of physical growth and mental development. Hormonal change, rapid growth of bone and muscle, and mental strain all raise nutritional needs sharply during this time.
Some become underweight during these years and some overweight; others suffer various physical and mental difficulties. At this age teenagers are very sensitive about body image. Problems arise precisely when they take up a harsh or crash diet to fix their shape, and physical growth is disrupted.
Some become addicted to excessive fast food and junk food. Rather than forcing the issue, what is needed is to explain the positive side of nutritious food and build balanced eating habits within the family. This is also a period of considerable pressure from schoolwork, college and coaching. So at each stage this age group needs the right nutritional advice and guidance.
Their nutrition plan will cover
