WHAT IS YOUTH NUTRITION?
Youth Nutrition focuses on providing age-appropriate, science-based nutrition support for children and adolescents to promote healthy growth, physical development, learning capacity, and safe sports participation.
At SESC, youth nutrition is designed to support both active young athletes and non-athletic children, ensuring nutrition plans are safe, balanced, practical, and developmentally appropriate.
WHY YOUTH NUTRITION IS IMPORTANT
• During childhood and adolescence, the body undergoes rapid growth and hormonal development. Poor nutrition during this stage can lead to:
• Delayed growth and development
• Low energy and concentration
• Poor sports performance
• Increased injury risk
• Unhealthy eating habits later in life
Proper youth nutrition supports strong bones, healthy muscles, brain development, and long-term well-being.
