CHAT<br />

CHi: Hi, everyone. Welcome to Current Health's CH@Room. Today, we've lined up three<br />

medical professionals to talk about the importance of paying attention to what<br />

you eat ... especially now. When you're going through puberty, you're in a major growth spurt,<br />

and you need to stay fueled.<br />

Taffyii: Growth spurt? Puberty? EEEUUUW! ® That's disgusting .<br />

CHi: Puberty is a lot of things, but it's far from disgusting. If you're a girl between ages 8<br />

and 14 or a boy between ages 10 and 15, you're going through changes and growth that lead<br />

to adulthood. And really, isn't that a little exciting? You're growing so fast.<br />

MSo_Holt: The increased rate of growth that occurs during these years is second only to the<br />

rate during the first year of life.<br />

Taffyii:R-U serious? That much?<br />

CHi: That's a lot, I know. It has to do with natural chemicals<br />

known as hormones.<br />

Dro_Ann: Hormones<br />

released by the brain cause all parts of the body to grow.
