Advertisements
उत्तर
- Supports Growth and Development: Adolescents grow quickly, and iron aids in the formation of haemoglobin, which transports oxygen throughout the body’s cells, boosting general growth and development.
- Prevents Anaemia: Iron helps prevent iron-deficiency anaemia, which can cause fatigue, weakness, and poor cognitive and physical performance, particularly during adolescence when iron requirements are highest.
- Supports Cognitive Function: Adequate iron levels are essential for brain growth and cognitive function, which aids adolescents’ learning and concentration.
- Maintains Energy Levels: Iron is essential for preserving energy and stamina, particularly among physically active adolescents.
