Active teens are teenagers that do constant physical activity but not necessarily sports. It is important for active teens to stay healthy so that they can perform to their best ability. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy. There are different types of carbohydrates and some are better than others. This energy is used to help athletes perform at a higher level with out feeling fatigue. Proteins work well with athletes building them muscles, and every body requires some good fat everyday. Iron is needed to give the body oxygen for the body's blood circulation. Calcium is needed to make bones stronger. In the teen years, we take in most of the calcium that our bodies receive.
