Teen & Adolescent Nutrition
Growing bodies and busy minds need balanced nutrition to thrive. Teens should choose foods rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre, lean protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats while limiting saturated fats, added sugars and sodium. A state‑registered dietitian can help teens build lifelong healthy habits.
