During puberty, extra nutrients are needed to cope with the body’s increased need.

Iron deficiency and anaemia is a condition that commonly affects teens.

Your child probably isn’t worrying about what she eats before an exam; however the brain requires quality nutrition in order to ensure it performs at its best.
