Essential nutrients are very important for helping young teens stay active and healthy. However, many of them have trouble getting the nutrients they need.

Here are some key nutrients to know about:

1. Carbohydrates: These are super important because they give us energy. But sometimes, teens skip them because they make unhealthy food choices.

2. Proteins: Proteins help our muscles heal and grow. However, it can be tricky to get enough protein in our diet.

3. Fats: We need fats for good health, but many people think they should avoid them. This is a misunderstanding!

What Can We Do?:

• Teaching teens about balanced diets can help them make better food choices.
• Making healthy food options easier to find is also important.
• Parents can play a big role by encouraging their kids to eat healthier.

By working on these things, we can help all teens get the nutrients they need to support their activities and stay strong!
