Dad, I learned about essential nutrients at school today.

Basic passive voice

She should be well nourished; however, there is something more

important than having essential nutrients.

It is important to get the proper nutrition at all stages of life.

You mean every stage of life has it's own proper nutrition requirements?

Let's talk about the nutrition our family needs.

Your baby sister's stage is called "Infancy".

In order to support this rapid growth, babies are fed foods high in protein and calcium.

The stage of life you are in is called "Teenagers".

Teenagers begin a growth spurt that lasts five to seven years.

That means I can still get taller, right?

Right, but you don't have to worry about it.

Extra calories are needed to make the body start this growth fast.

It is important to naturally switch to a diet particularly high in carbohydrates in this stage.

Mom and I are in the stage of life called adulthood.

During adulthood, growth slows to a stop,

adults may experience gradual bone loss, and muscle mass begins to decrease.

so many adults must eat more protein to avoid this loss.

and take their diets with extra calcium and Vitamin D supplements.

Wow, I didn't realize that people need different nutrients at each stage of life.

If Mom had joined our conversation, she would be able to consider all the necessary nutrients every time she cooks.
