Vegetarian Teenagers

As vegetarianism becomes more popular, many parents may wonder if kids can safely follow a vegetarian diet and still get all the nutrients necessary for growing up healthy and strong. Avoiding meat may sound like a bad idea, but most dietary and medical experts agree that a well-planned vegetarian diet can actually be a very healthy way to eat. The British Medical Association has released a report stating that vegetarians live longer and are healthier than meat-eaters. In fact, research has shown that vegetarians run a 28 per cent lower risk of dying from heart diseases and a 39 per cent lower risk of dying of cancer.
Of course, special care must be taken when feeding kids and teens a vegetarian diet. And as with any diet, you will need to ensure that your child is getting enough of all the necessary nutrients, and understand that the nutritional needs of children change as they grow.
Teenagers often express their independence through the foods they choose to eat. One strong statement is the decision to stop eating meat. Many teenagers decide to embrace vegetarianism in support of animal rights, for health reasons, or because friends are doing it. If it’s done right, a meat-free diet can actually be a good choice for adolescents, especially considering that vegetarians often eat more of the foods that most teens don’t get enough of – fruits and vegetables. A vegetarian diet that includes dairy products and eggs is the best choice for growing teens. And a diet which is rich in fruits and veggies will be high in fibre and low in fat, factors known to improve cardiovascular health by reducing blood cholesterol. A more strict vegetarian diet may fail to meet a teen’s need for certain nutrients, such as iron, protein, zinc, calcium, and vitamins D and B12.
A vegetarian diet can be a healthy choice for children, as long as it’s properly planned and adequate nutrients are eaten. The principles of planning a vegetarian diet are the same as planning any healthy diet – provide a variety of foods and include foods from all the food groups. A balanced diet will provide the right combinations to meet your child’s nutritional needs.
