Step 1 Warming-up

Test your nutrition IQ

All of us eat every day, but most of us don't understand nutrition. How much do you know about good nutrition? Are the following statements true or false?

1. People who don't eat meat can stay healthy. ( )

2. Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned vegetables. ( )

3. Food eaten between meals can be just as good for health as food eaten at regular meals. ( )

4. Food grown in poor soil is lower in vitamins that food grown in rich soil. ( )

Suggested answers:

1. T As long as people eat enough milk, eggs and meat alternatives, they can get enough protein.

2. F The differences depend more on how vegetables are prepared than whether they are fresh or canned. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a great amount of vitamins.

3. F Nutritional value depends on what types of food you eat, not when you eat them. Eating an egg or an orange between meals can contribute to a good diet.

4. F The vitamins in our food are made by the plants themselves. They don't come from the soil. However, the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil.
