Growth is very rapid and much protein is needed to build tissue, particularly to build the red blood corpuscles. Anemia may be produced by a faulty diet or by one which lacks eggs, meat, fresh vegetables or fruit, particularly in developing girls. The red meats, the yolk of eggs, spinach and all kinds of greens are important articles of diet at this time, because of the iron which they contain. They should be supplied freely. Butter and milk are valuable and _regular exercises with deep breathing are imperative_. If the appetite wanes, be sure that the girl or boy is getting sufficient brisk exercise in the fresh air.
