Overview and Instructions
The age of adolescence encapsulates a window of time when bodies are
metamorphosizing as they evolve into young adults. It is the time when
adolescents try to boldly establish their own identities yet desperately
seek to be socially accepted by their peers. The challenge for the nutrition
professional is to reach teens with the message about how to fuel their
bodies in a manner that allows them increased autonomy in the decision-making
process. When the counseling strategies are engaging, the teen mind
is impressionable and open to new ideas. However, once information is
assimilated, teens are still vulnerable to the pressures of peers, rebellious
acts, and occasional self-destructive behavior.
This self-directed, accredited learning program begins by addressing
the body transformations that occur as sexual maturation progresses.
The specific nutrient demands for the adolescent growth spurt are presented,
along with current recommendations for assessing the needs of adolescents.
This learning program will help the practitioner educate teens to make
food choices and plan healthy meals based on established guidelines
to reduce their health risks. Healthy eating habits instilled early
in life may play a vital role in preventing the chronic diseases of
aging. Often teens do not think far into the future and make their food
choices based on what tastes good now. Unfortunately, with the rise
in childhood obesity in the United States and related co-morbidities
such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, we are addressing adult
health issues in our youth. Prevention of co-morbidities and long-term
complications of these current health threats in our youth have become
a new priority for health care professionals.
Adolescents exert their independence by the choices of foods eaten away
from home or the snacks and meals they prepare for themselves. The pressure
of peers and mass media can impact the decision process. Too often adolescents
compare their developing bodies to the ideal bodies of the stars and
athletes they see on television or in magazines. Some teens fall victim
to endless dieting or even eating disorders.
For active adolescents, the proper fuel can give the edge to excel in
the sports arena. Common advice for pre-event meals, fluid replacement,
and refueling will be shared to help dispel common myths that may lead
teens astray.
Substance abuse and cigarette smoking are rebellious and risky behaviors
that may be experimental initially, but can end up addictive or even
deadly. It is important to be educated as a nutrition professional regarding
the nutritional impact of substance abuse and to know what advice to
give in the various stages of the addiction.
Finally, the family can play a significant role in modeling healthy
eating and exercise behaviors and can assist teens on the road to lifelong
healthy habits. The benefits of a traditional family meal reach beyond
improving the nutritional health of the adolescent.
As teens grow up in a pop culture featuring videos, music, virtual reality
games, internet access, extreme sports, and graphic television, how
do we compete for their attention and have our nutrition message make
an impact? In a survey of 325 dietitians who work with adolescents,
the top-rated area in which respondents wanted more training was communicating
with adolescents (1). Interactive tools and tips to improve your communication
skills will be presented throughout this learning program to increase
your comfort zone in working with this challenging age group and provide
you with the practical repertoire to approach teens with confidence.
This self-directed learning program is a level 2 Continuing Professional
Education (CPE) program approved for 16 Continuing Professional Education
Units (CPEUs), meaning that the reader has general knowledge of the
literature and professional practice within the area covered. The focus
