Nutrition and Hygiene During Adolescence
Learning the importance of good nutrition and hygiene during the teenage years.
Core concept
A nutritious diet during adolescence should include a good balance of proteins (pulses, eggs, milk), calcium-rich foods (dairy, leafy greens), and iron-rich foods (spinach, jaggery) to support healthy growth. Hygiene habits like regular bathing, using deodorant, washing the face to manage oil and acne, and maintaining oral hygiene all become more important during this stage, both for physical health and for emotional confidence during a time of significant bodily change.
