Adolescent Nutrition and Growth

Adolescence is a period of rapid growth, hormonal changes, and increased nutritional requirements, making adequate diet crucial for supporting physical and cognitive development. Nutrient deficiencies during this stage can compromise bone mineralization, immune function, and metabolic health. Iron deficiency, calcium inadequacy, and insufficient protein intake are common concerns, particularly among female adolescents. Balanced diets rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein sources, combined with regular physical activity, are essential to support growth spurts, sexual maturation, and energy needs. Adolescents are also at higher risk of developing eating disorders, obesity, and lifestyle-related chronic diseases due to psychosocial pressures, peer influence, and exposure to unhealthy food marketing. Nutrition education and counseling play a critical role in promoting healthy behaviors and self-awareness regarding dietary choices. Research highlights the effectiveness of school-based interventions, community programs, and family engagement in improving adolescent nutrition and overall health outcomes. Strategies to reduce sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, promote nutrient-dense foods, and encourage physical activity have shown significant benefits. This session also explores personalized nutrition approaches, considering gender, metabolic status, and activity levels, to optimize growth and developmental potential. Addressing the unique psychosocial and environmental factors influencing adolescent dietary habits ensures sustainable adoption of healthy lifestyles, fostering a foundation for lifelong wellness.
