Each teenagers certainly experience the growth and development of biological, psychosocial and cognitive.
Biological, psychosocial and cognitive changes that begin during puberty and continue throughout adolescence directly affect nutritional status and nutrient needs. Adolescents experience dramatic physical growth and development during puberty, which in turn appreciably increases their requirements for energy, protein, and many vitamins and minerals. Adolescents also experience significant changes in their ability to assess and comprehend complex situations and information and in their desire to become independent, unique individuals. The increased need for energy and nutrients among adolescents, combined with increasing financial independence, increasing need for
autonomy when making food choices, and immature cognitive abilities, places adolescents at nutritional risk. Therefore, it is vital that health care providers who provide nutrition education and counseling have a thorough understanding of adolescent physical and psychosocial growth and
development. (Jamie Stang and Mary Story)
