READ TO
UNDERSTAND

NUTRITION refers to the intake of food in relation to the body’s

dietary needs. Good nutrition depends on the combination of food having the
required different nutrients we should take on a daily basis. Excess or deficient
intake of some nutrients may lead to illness.

NUTRIENTS are the substances found in food that your body needs to
function properly.

Why is Adolescents’ Nutrition Important?

The changes in growth and development during adolescence create

increased demand for energy and nutrients. As an adolescent, your total
nutrient needs are higher at this stage than at any other stage in your life cycle.
It only shows that nutrition and physical growth are essentially related.
Optional nutrition is a requisite for achieving your full growth potentials.

The physical changes during adolescence affect the body’s nutritional

needs. For boys, muscle mass increases and for girls, body fats also increase.
Your body needs greater amount of calcium, iron, protein, carbohydrates and
fiber. As appetite is also likely to increase, it is important that food choices
are made carefully.
