Nutrition is very important for teenagers as they are still growing and forming the foundation of their bones. Many teenagers can be very active playing sports so it’s important that they know some healthy snacks they can eat. Teenagers also begin to make their own choices about food and parents have less influence on what they eat, so it’s important they have the right information to make healthy food choices.
As you get older, good nutrition plays an increasingly important role in how well you age. Eating a low-salt, low-fat diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and fibre can help reduce your age-related risks of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, osteoporosis, and other chronic diseases.
