Health and Wellness Week 2 Nutrients

(click on the picture for the slide show) 

This week we will be exploring the six nutrients that we consume daily and the purpose of each nutrient in the body. Understanding these nutrients will enable us to select healthier foods and consume the suggested amounts. We will also look at some nutrition labels and learn how to break therm down to read if this would be a good choice or not. And finally we will learn the true meaning of a serving size, most of us are guilty of filling an entire bowl of cereal and calling it one serving. Or going out to a restaurant and assuming that what ever is on the plate is one serving of food. This is not true and we can take a closer look at servings of commonly eaten food.
