write a note on nutritional need of adolescence
Answers
Hunger levels of adolescents are very high. They need to eat different varieties of food. Taking healthy and nutritive food is very important. Taking balanced diet is very important that includes proteins, carbohydrates, fats and vitamins in requisite proportions. Our Indian meal of roti/rice dal(pulses) and vegetables is a balanced meal. Milk and fruits are also useful for nourishment. Iron builds blood and iron rich food such as leafy vegetables, jaggery, meat, citrus, Indian goose berry(amla) are good for adolescents.
Because of this hunger adolescents generally prefer to eat chips, packed or tinned snacks, road side foods appears to be very tasty, but they never replace the balanced diet. So adolescents shouldn't take junk food.
Hope this helps
Thank you
