important than having essential nutrients.

Your baby sister's stage is called "Infancy".

你妹妹所在的階段被稱作「嬰兒期」。

In this stage, babies grow the fastest.

這個階段的小嬰兒，成長速度是最快的。

In order to support this rapid growth, babies are fed foods high in protein and calcium.

為了因應如此快速的成長，小嬰兒必須攝取高蛋白質跟高鈣的食品。

Protein builds muscles and organs,

蛋白質建構我們的肌肉跟器官，

calcium helps bones grow stronger.

鈣則使我們的骨頭長得更強壯。

The stage of life you are in is called "Teenagers".

你現在的階段被稱作「青少年期」。

Teenagers begin a growth spurt that lasts five to seven years.

青少年開始成長的速度爆發，而且會持續五到七年。

That means I can still get taller, right?

這表示......我還可以再長高，對嗎？

Right, but you don't have to worry about it.

對，但是你不用擔心這個。

Extra calories are needed to make the body start this growth fast.

身體要開始快速成長時，需要更多卡路里。

It is important to naturally switch to a diet particularly high in carbohydrates in this stage.

Then what about mom and dad?

During adulthood, growth slows to a stop,

在成人階段，身體的成長趨緩，最終停滯。

adults may experience gradual bone loss, and muscle mass begins to decrease.

成人可能覺得自己的骨質漸漸疏鬆，而肌肉量也開始減少。

so many adults must eat more protein to avoid this loss.

所以，許多成人必須攝取更多蛋白質以避免骨質跟肌肉流失。

and take their diets with extra calcium and Vitamin D supplements.

也需要在他們的飲食中補充鈣質與維他命 D。

Wow, I didn't realize that people need different nutrients at each stage of life.

哇，我以前不了解在人生不同階段，人們需要不同的養分。

That is so interesting.

好有趣喔！

If Mom had joined our conversation, she would be able to consider all the necessary nutrients every time she cooks.

如果媽媽有加入我們的對話，她就可以在下廚時將所有必要的營養都考慮進去。
