What do parents need to know about nutrition during the teen years? Between busy schedules, sports, fast food and the constant stream of nutrition advice on social media, helping teens develop healthy eating habits can feel overwhelming.
In this episode of Step Up to Save Our Children, we talk with Dr. Liz Daniels about the nutritional needs of adolescents and practical ways parents can help their teens make informed food choices.
We discuss the importance of balanced meals, protein, iron, calcium and other essential nutrients, along with breakfast, hydration and fueling active teens. We also explore social media’s influence on food choices, nutrition misinformation, selective eating and how parents can encourage healthy habits without creating conflict around food or body image. Most importantly, you’ll learn realistic strategies to support your teen’s growth, energy, concentration and overall well-being. Parents don’t have to aim for perfect nutrition.
They need practical information, positive conversations and simple ways to help their teens build healthy habits that last a lifetime. Join us for this informative conversation with Dr. Liz Daniels, and share it with a parent or caregiver who wants to help their teen thrive!
