Question

how does junk food affect the growth during adolsenece

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Consuming a balanced diet, containing all food nutrients in balanced proportions is very essential during the stage of adolescence. An adolescent’s diet should include carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals in adequate amounts. This is because bones and muscles need proteins and calcium to grow at the time of puberty. Junk food items like chips, cold drinks, and snacks should be avoided, or their consumption should be restricted as they are only rich in taste and are poor in nutrient content.

Hope this answers your query,

Cheers!
