Different uses of nutrients

Iron: Needed to help new muscle cells obtain oxygen for energy. A lack of iron will result in fatigue (especially in athletes)

Calcium: Needed in the development of strong and dense bones during the adolescent growth spurt

Protein: Needed for growth and maintenance of muscle (important for athletes)

Calories: Needed to provide energy for growth and activity. Over excess is bad for health.

Athletes

Requires a balanced nutritional outlook

(For better performance in sports)

Take supplements with care and not neglect a balanced diet.

Should not go on crash diet to improve performance
