Teens need protein for many reasons, including building and repairing muscles, promoting hair and skin health, fighting off infections and carrying oxygen in the blood. Proteins also help with building enzymes, hormones and vitamins, especially important for adolescents. Proteins are made up of building blocks called amino acids, most of which your body can naturally produce. However, there are nine essential amino acids that your body cannot make, but that you can get through foods you eat. It is important for teenagers to consume a variety of proteins so their bodies get proper nutrients for growth and development.
