Author:Trisha Sertori
BUY – Vitamins and Minerals (Body Fuel for Helathy Bodies)  

An informative beginners guide to vitamins and minerals, from where they come from, to how they are used by the body.

Body Fuel For Healthy Bodies is part of a series of six books, which teach children about how fuelling your body with the right foods can keep you healthy.

Full of clear, well presented information, this book is an excellent starting point for nutritional understanding. It encourages having a healthy, balanced diet and what that actually means.

The good old food pyramid is explained and we find out which foods you need in which quantities to get the vitamins and minerals talked about in this book.

Each vitamin and mineral is discussed separately so the information is not overwhelming.
We find out where the substance is found, how it gets into the food, which foods have it and why your body needs it.

Bullet points and fun pictures break these facts down so they are easier to remember and find again.

Dietician Melanie provides tips and fun health facts on most pages.

Did you know that salt (sodium chloride) was so important in ancient Rome that the soldiers were paid in salt. The word salary comes from the Latin word meaning salt!
