Like any diet, vegetarian diets have the potential to be very dangerous, especially during the teen years. This is when the body is still developing and certain nutrients are essential. The following tips will help vegetarian teens stay healthy.

1. Protect your bones. Teens require slightly more calcium than others (a total of 1200 to 1300mg a day). Milk, cheese and yogurt are good sources as well as dark-green leafy vegetables, beans and fortified oranges, cereals and rice milk.

2. Include vitamin B12. A deficiency of B12, which is only in animal products, can cause anemia and irreversible nerve damage. Strict vegetarians should take a multivitamin.

3. Add iron. This mineral is essential for menstruating teens. You need to eat whole grains, beans, nuts and dark-green leafy vegetables are rich in iron along with vitamin C-rich foods to be absorbed properly. Top cereal with strawberries and top vegetable burgers with tomatoes.

4. Do not forget about zinc. Needed for growth and energy, zinc is in eggs, dairy products, whole-grain foods, wheat germ, nuts and tofu.

5. Do not worry about protein. Teens who get enough calories to maintain a healthy weight from a variety of plant foods (rice, beans, grains and/or nuts) will get enough protein.

6. Lay off junk foods. Make every bite count. Grab some fresh fruit, cereal or nuts instead of reaching for nutritionally void alternatives.
