Features of Adolescent Nutrition

Pediatrician's advice 12-15
We have actively discussed nutrition in previous age categories. The main aspects of nutrition include balance, rationality, and variety.

During adolescence, organs and tissues grow actively, which requires building material. The daily caloric intake increases to 2500-4000 kcal, depending on the child's activity, interests, and body parameters. A lack of caloric intake can lead to rapid exhaustion and dysfunction of systems and organs, with many noticing how teenagers lose weight quickly. Nutrition should be safe for all ages, so we should exclude energy drinks and alcohol, explaining their harm to the body.
