In another survey of students aged 15-18

7% admitted to never drinking milk. Those who did drink milk drank

very little of it. Most drank 1.5 liters of a “fizzy

drink” in a week. 1/5 had not eaten any fruit in a 7

day period.

Vitamins have a role in disease prevention.

• The amount of calcium a person consumes during adolescence “predicts adult bone mass.” Lower bone mass can mean a greater risk of fractures in the future!

• Studies have shown women who had low levels of iron as teenagers have “poorer heart and bone health in later life.”

• Low iron can result in anemia, “which can cause fatigue, palpitations and lightheadedness”.
