 Adolescence is a transitional journey from childhood to adult life along with physical development and sexual maturation. This may be considered as physical, psychological and emotional rebirth. The phenomenal growth that occurs in adolescence, second only to that in the first year of life, creates increased demands for energy and nutrients. Total nutrient needs are higher during adolescence than any other time in the life cycle. Nutrition is also important this time to help prevent Adult diet related chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis. Poor nutrition starts before birth, and generally continues into adolescence and adult life and can span generations. By improving the nutrition of adolescent girls and women, nations can reduce health care costs, increase intellectual capacity, and improve adult productivity.
