NUTRITION IN CHILDREN and adolescents

 What are Macronutrients? Learn the basics of calories, fat, carbs and protein.

 Vitamins are the building blocks that keep our bodies running; they help build muscle and bone, capture energy, heal wounds and more.  This video describes what vitamins are, how they get into our bodies -- and why they are so crucial. 

 We hear about calories all the time: How many calories are in this cookie? How many are burned by doing 100 jumping jacks, or long-distance running, etc.? This video explains what a calorie is, and how many of them do we actually need.

 This WHO video is designed to help better understand the double burden of malnutrition (over and undernutrition) and its drivers. It aims to raise awareness, and develop much needed new narrative and action to achieve better health through nutrition. 

  This film explores those biological processes of aging, how we can maintain health throughout our lives with healthy lifestyles, and how scientists are learning more about the specific nutrients that can positively impact health.
