Arimalam Block, Pudukkottai spoke on the need for a balanced diet for all age groups. She drew special
attention to the problems of adolescents. It is a period of changes and transition and naturally one
needs additional nutrition and expert advice on diet-planning. Adolescence is a period of maturation –
physical, psychological and intellectual. So both boys and girls require special attention and proper
counseling. They have to be monitored in their eating habits . One should give oneself enough time to
eat, and avoid delayed lunch and dinner. Breakfast should not be skipped in the name of rushing to
school or college. They may also require extra diet if they are sports persons. Fast foods must be
discouraged. The intake should consist of adequate proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. It is also a
period in which one has to develop right habits, in work and play. Proper diet is the key to healthy
growth.
