Introduction
The nutrition project aims to create educational tools for children to learn about diet, exercise, and nutrition.
Project suggestions
- Informational materials
- Interactive learning tools (i.e. games)
- Food analysis application
Floating Materials
This section is for posting materials that can be used for developing educational activities. The source of data should always be noted, so that in case that the information is contested, we can take a look at the original documents. If we start seeing lots of detailed information, we can create a page for each nutrient.
1. Micronutrient
Definition
The following information from USDA.
Vitamins
| Micronutrient | Synonymous names | RDA and Toxicity | Solubility | Deficiency | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nutrient Name | Other names | RDA and toxicity levels | Fat or water soluble? | Clinical Manifestation upon deficiency | Which food is high in this nutrient? |
| Vitamin A | Retinoids = retinol, retinoids and carotenoids |
|
Fat soluble | Night-blindness, Keratomalacia | carrots, broccoli leaves, kale, sweet potatoes, spinach, pumpkins, collard greens, cantaloupe melon, apricots, papaya, peas, beet, winter squash, eggs, liver |
