About Nutrition
Nutrition is the study of what food does once you swallow it. Protein rebuilds muscle and tissue, calcium hardens bone and teeth, iron carries oxygen through your blood, and fiber keeps digestion moving. Calories measure the energy a food releases, not its worth. The Nutrition Facts label on a packaged food in the United States lists serving size, sodium, sugars and more, which is why reading one tells you more than the picture on the front. Spinach, yogurt and whole grains all show up in this grid.
Health and family science teachers hand this out when a class starts decoding food labels and comparing nutrients.
