1.  WHY YOUNG AND GROWING CHILDREN NEED MORE PROTEINS 

Proteins are life. They are the main solid matter in the muscles; they are also the major constituents of blood, matrix of bones, teeth, skin, nails and hair. Our body which contains about 60% water and 19% fat is held together by only 17% proteins and 4% minerals. 

Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has assessed that the daily protein requirement for young and growing children is 50% to 60% more than for normal adults, for body building and for brain development. New tissues are being laid down during growth which are built up of elements drawn from protein. 

Children on low protein diet tend to be smaller and have thin, lanky bodies in teens.
