Did You Know That Teenage Girls Are Often Low in Iron?

Iron is an important nutrient for, well, everyone, but it's especially important for teenage girls. In honour of World Iron Awareness Week (which kicked off yesterday!), here are some surprising stats:

• One in four teenage girls are iron-deficient (that's millions of teen girls!).

• Low iron causes everything from fatigue and brain fog to poor academic performance and mood swings.

• A few protein-focused diet tweaks can help teenage girls to boost their iron intake—seriously, it doesn't have to be complicated.

We spoke to registered dietitian Carol Harrison to learn more, and to get her tips and tricks for how to help.

THE QUESTION BOX

My Kids Are a Little Older Now—Should They Still Be Allowed to Trick-or-Treat?

When your kids hit the tween or teen years, this question will almost certainly come up: Should there be an age cut-off for trick-or-treating? It seems to be a polarizing topic, so we had two parents on either side of the conversation weigh in. Writer Kristi York says every age should get to join in on the Halloween fun. For her, the night is about community, creativity and connection—not just candy. She welcomes polite, costumed teens as warmly as wide-eyed toddlers. On the other hand, Liz Hastings takes the opposite view, arguing that trick-or-treating should be limited to kids under 12. She believes older kids can still celebrate—by handing out candy, going to parties or helping younger siblings—without overshadowing the little ones. What do you think?
