Minerals

From the websites Office of Dietary Supplements and Colorado State University Extension, I took notes on minerals that one's body needs to enjoy a healthy life.  Within each mineral, I described what the function of the mineral is for as well as how one is able to acquire it through food.

Vitamins

I took notes on vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K.  The websites that I used are MedlinePlus, For Dummies, Whole Living, Office of Dietary Supplements, and The Nutrition Source | Harvard School of Public Health.  I included what each vitamin is used for and how to obtain the vitamin into one's system.

Poster Rough Sketch

This is a diagram of what my poster is going to look like.  The middle section is for ways to eat healthier.  Left side is mainly about the different types of fruits and vegetables.  And the right side is for the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that make our body function properly (eg. carbohydrates, sugars, proteins, fats).

Planning Poster Sections

I will be dividing the poster into three sections: "Healthy Foods", "What Can We Do?", and "Vitamins and Minerals".  Under "Healthy Foods" section, I will list foods and their beneficial properties.  "What Can We Do?" section will be about what are some ways we can change our lifestyle and eating habits so that we can lead a healthier life (Eating raw vegan, eating organic etc.).  "Vitamins and Minerals" will be listing the nutritional facts of vitamins and minerals that allow our bodies to work properly.
