Youth Sport Nutrition2

NUTRI-TEEN® is a food powder that has been specially designed to meet an active child’s or young athletes requirements for key major nutrients. Active children are enjoying using NUTRI-TEEN® Shakes to support health, immunity, energy and recovery after sport. They may also use it as an alternative for some of their meals if access to whole foods is limited due to selective eating habits, or lack of time. Typical times that NUTRI-TEEN® is used as a meal replacement is on the way to school after morning training, or before bed following a late evening session where they don’t wish to go to bed on a full stomach, or parents haven’t the time to cook a full meal. Parents are introducing NUTRI-TEEN® to help ensure their children are getting a good intake of all nutrients. Recent research shows that active children and youth athletes may have additional nutritional requirements due to frequent participation in intense training when coupled with poor eating habits. NUTRI-TEEN®, similar to any food, may be consumed in relative amounts by active youths to include as part of a balanced, varied diet. Please refer to our Amounts of NUTRI-TEEN® in Different Age Groups guide at the bottom of this page. Parents of children under 4 years old should consult their doctor or relevant health care professional before allowing their child to consume. NUTRI-TEEN® is not suitable for babies or infants below / during weaning age. We always recommend a food-first approach wherever possible for all children under 18. Optimal Nutrition for Adolescents At YSN, we want to enforce correct eating habits for life so active or sporty children and adolescents should be encouraged to consume a balanced diet consisting of a variety of different foods including fibrous starchy foods like rice, potatoes, pasta, cereals; meat, fish or high-protein vegetarian alternatives; fruit and veg – at least 5 servings a day; and calcium-rich foods including dairy products or calcium-fortified alternatives to support bone growth, maintenance and development. Active children and teenagers should eat regularly to fuel growth and mental development as well as providing nutrition for high levels of activity due to participation in high level sport. Good nutrition goes hand in hand with success in sport: regardless of participation in sport – all kids are encouraged to be active and include regular exercise, whether it be school sports, walking, cycling or playing out with friends. A healthy developing athlete is one who eats well and gets plenty of exercise. |
