KIDS & TEENS
​
Eating habits are set in early childhood.
​
A healthy lifestyle in children and adolescents, healthy food choices, physical activity and family support help to prevent weight-related problems, reduces disease risk such as iron deficiency anemia and poor bone mineralization, among other health problems.
Being overweight or obese in adolescence increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and is likely to persist into adulthood.
Preventing, managing or treating health-related problems in young people avoids or prevents problems in adulthood.
​
A balanced diet ensures that all growth and development needs are met.
