NUTRITION
What Are Some of Our Nutritional Needs?
Strong bones give us a
sturdy structure.
Red blood cells carry oxygen to all of the 50 trillion cells
in your body.
We need our muscles to move. Your heart is a muscle.
What Happens When We Don't Get Enough Nutrients?
Not enough calcium?
Not enough iron?
Not enough Magnesium?
Where Is Our Nutrient Supply?
Calcium is in oranges & cheese.
Iron is in tomatoes
and cabbage.
Magnesium is in bananas
and whole grains.
What Threatens Our Nutrients?
Choices.
Soil that is used again and again does not have a chance to get its nutrients back.
When forests are cut down
erosion moves the
nutrients away.
