In summer which food is better for the age group of 12 to 20 years?

The age group of 12-20 years is called adolescent age. Boys become men and girls become women. The body undergoes many changes, hence it gets very important to maintain a healthy diet at this time. Children who become habitual of eating non-healthy food become obese and obesity leads to several diseases. The following things are highly essential to eat for the people of this age group:

1. Muscle development comes from protein. Turkey, eggs, soybean, chickpeas, kidney beans, lean beef, etc. are rich in proteins. Protein also helps in fat cutting.

2. Many people of this age group don't like to eat fruits. One banana every day fulfils the magnesium and phosphorus need of the body. Avocado is rich in protein too. Besides having several minerals, fruit like watermelon and oranges serve the needs of proper hydration in days of summer.

3. Although the inclusion of cereals and pulses in the diet seems less tasty, they are highly important for a healthy lifestyle. Oats give your body the required fibre. Pulses like mix daal and masoor are rich in protein.

4. Low-fat dairy products are highly important for increasing strength and bone density.

5. All fat-rich products are acceptable occasionally. High-fat products should be avoided as they become an important factor in obesity.
