About Nutrition

Food does more than fill you up: it delivers the raw material your body rebuilds itself with. Calcium hardens bone and teeth, iron carries oxygen in red blood cells, and potassium helps muscles contract, including the heart. Fiber passes through largely undigested, which is exactly why it matters. Beans and lentils, the legumes on this sheet, supply protein and fiber at once. Clues here cover minerals, macronutrients, hydration, portion size, and where whole grains and fresh produce fit.

Reach for this in a health or family and consumer sciences class after covering the nutrition facts label, or at home when someone is learning to read one at the store.
