Teens and food

Ever wondered if your teen needs supplements, protein powders or other special dietary tweaks? This episode pulls together the information you need.   Getting teens to consume a balanced and nutritious diet isn’t always easy. They might be going straight to sport after school with little time to eat or they could be snacking before dinner and not so interested in the nutritious meal you’re serving up at dinner.   If you’re facing challenges in supporting your teen to get their three and five (that’s fruit and vegetables), then join host Dr Anthea Rhodes and guest, Paediatric Dietitian Tayla Rabie for a chat about helping teens to make nutritious food choices.   Kids Health Info is funded thanks to the support of the Good Friday Appeal.
