Summary
This programme from the Scientific Eye: Life and Living Processes series is concerned with the importance of a balanced, healthy diet.
The topics covered are:
- Why we need a balanced diet
- Diet for a purpose
- Carbohydrates
- Fats and proteins
- Water, vitamins, minerals and fibre
- How much of each food?
By drawing on the ideas of a group of young people and the knowledge of a variety of nutrition experts, the programme seeks to deal with a number of dietary issues in a straightforward way.
A group of trainee footballers are shown the importance of understanding diet. A nutritionist explains how a poor diet during the teenage years can lead to problems in later life.
A coach at the Liverpool Football Club Academy explains why his trainee footballers need a healthy, balanced diet. The cook at the academy shows how the trainees' diet is managed, and the doctor explains the need for teenagers to know which foods contain nutrients.
