In today's busy world it is harder and harder to plan nutritious meals for the family. Fast food joints make it so easy to supply the bulk without supplying the nutritional value necessary for growing children and teenagers. Children of all ages need proper nutrition in order for their bodies and minds to develop properly. With proper nutrition they will feel better, need to visit the doctor less, and be more mentally alert to confront all of the challenges of growing up. If your children are involved in sports it is very important for them to have proper nutrition to keep their body in tip top shape and to excel in their chosen sport.
Teenagers have the worst diets of all.
