Teens and Nutrition

  • Adolescent Nutrition
    For growing teens, nutrition experts say it's better to watch total fat consumption in the diet, rather than to count calories.
  • Prevention of Heart Disease Starts in Childhood
    You may think of heart disease as a problem for adults, not your young children. But diet and exercise habits started in childhood can begin a lifetime of heart health, or a lifetime of heart damage.
  • The Importance of Eating Together as a Family
    Eating together as a family has many benefits not only for you, but also for your children. This lifestyle habit may actually help to fend off childhood obesity.
  • Vegetarian Teens Need Diet Advice
    If your teen wants vegetarian options, you may worry that dropping meat, poultry and fish will be unhealthy.
  • Whole Grains in the Teen Diet
    Better health for your teen could be as close as your breadbox. The more whole grains teenagers eat, the leaner they are and the less likely they are to develop diabetes.
