Posted on January 16, 2010, by admin, under Nutrition.
Eating together as a family more regularly is a good way to bring up healthy-eating kids. The fact that you are all sitting down together for a meal will make meal times more of an occasion. This will help you to plan what your family is eating more carefully. And as soon as you start thinking about the food that you’re eating, you are taking the right steps to get your children to eat healthy.

Information About Vitamin D
Posted on November 5, 2009, by admin, under Nutrition.
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that is also known as the sunshine vitamin. It is most generally obtained from the sun and from some few different foods. A regular 10-15 minutes of exposure to sunlight can produce enough vitamins for the day. Also there are very few foods that contained vitamin D in it, hence it is generally better for one to expose him to sun rather than depend on foods. There are various health benefits that can be obtained from this vitamin.

Vitamin C as an antioxidant
Posted on October 28, 2009, by admin, under Nutrition.
Slice an apple into half, and it turns brown. A copper penny suddenly becomes green, or an iron nail when left outside, will rust. What do all these events have in common? These are examples of a process called oxidation. If the sliced apple is dipped in a lemon juice, however, the rate at which the apple turns brown is slowed. It is because the Vitamin C in the lemon juice slows the rate of oxidative damage.
