For the Girl or Boy from 13 to 21
There is no time in life when one needs to be so watchful of the diet as during these years. Growth is very rapid and much protein is needed to build tissue, particularly to build the red blood corpuscles. Anemia may be produced by a faulty diet or by one which lacks eggs, meat, fresh vegetables or fruit, particularly in developing girls.
The red meats, the yolk of eggs, spinach and all kinds of greens are important articles of diet at this time, because of the iron which they contain. They should be supplied freely. Butter and milk are valuable and regular exercises with deep breathing are imperative.
If the appetite wanes, be sure that the girl or boy is getting sufficient brisk exercise in the fresh air.
