  Which vitamins are stored in body fat and the liver, meaning
• 7:14
  you do not need them in large amounts every single day?
• 7:21
  The answer is the fat soluble vitamins Ade and K because they

• 7:30
  always better. It is best to follow recommended
• 7:33
  amounts and get them from a varied diet unless a doctor
• 7:36
  suggests otherwise. Time for a label reading skill.
• 7:39
  What does it mean when a cereal or plant milk says it is
• 7:42
  fortified? The answer is that extra
• 7:49
  nutrients such as vitamins and minerals have been added.

  question. What is 1 simple way to get a

  three different food groups. For example, combine a whole

  berries. Variety helps cover more

• 8:30
  fact? Which cooking method usually

• 8:35
  Steaming or boiling for a long time?
• 8:42
  The answer is steaming. Vitamin C is water soluble and
• 8:45
  sensitive to heat, so shorter cooking times and less water
• 8:50
  help preserve it. Microwaving with a small amount
• 8:52
  of water is another good option. Here is a brain teaser about
• 8:56
  labels. If a snack shows 20% daily value
• 9:00
  of vitamin E per serving, what does that number mean?
