Importance of eat healthy

Teens need more nutrients than adults because teens are a lot more physically active which means they need more nutrition in their body to keep up with their activities. They also need more nutrients than adults because their bodies are changing, such as going through puberty. Teens need more iron to provide the oxygen flow through their body but they also need more calcium to build up our bones strong and healthy. If teens don't take in enough calcium than as they grow older their bones will grow more fragile. Teens need to have a healthy diet in order to stay healthy and fit. The consequences of not having a healthy diet is having diseases such as diabetes or even a stroke. Eating healthy will provide nutrition to our bodies and minds.
