nutrition at different stages of life
that I learned about essential nutrients
as school today I'm worried about my
baby sister is she well nourished in
mom's tummy
she should be well nourished however
there is something more important than
having essential nutrients is there it
is important to get the proper nutrition
at all stages of life you mean every
stage of life has its own proper
nutrition requirements then what
nutrition do I need
let's talk about the nutrition our
family needs yes I want to know more
about it
your baby's sister's stage is called
infancy in this stage babies grow the
fastest in order to support this rapid
growth babies are fed foods high in
protein and calcium
what do these Fu's do for our body
protein builds muscles and organs
calcium helps bones grow stronger
so what nutrition do I need the most the
stage of life you are in is called
teenagers teenagers begin a growth spurt
that lasts five to seven years
that means I can still get taller right
right but you don't have to worry about
it extra calories are needed to make the
body start this growth fast it is
important to naturally switch to a diet
particularly high in carbohydrates in
this stage then what about mom and dad
mom and I are in the stage of life
called adulthood during adulthood growth
slows to a stop adults may experience
gradual bone loss and muscle mass begins
to decrease so many adults must eat more
protein to avoid this loss and take
their diets with extra calcium and
vitamin D supplements
while I didn't realize that people need
different nutrients at each stage of
life that is so interesting if mom had
joined our conversation she would be
able to consider all the necessary
nutrients every time she cooks
