About the presentation:
This is a very interactive presentation discussing all the key areas of diet. You probably learnt some of this for GCSE Biology, but there may be some new content for you.
- Did you know about all the roles of vitamins?
- Did you know how essential some of the minerals are?
- Have you ever heard of some of these training supplements?
Reflection: Upon learning the content involved, do you feel confident that your diet and nutrition is up to scratch? Would you class your diet and nutritional behaviour as a good one? Why? Do you know how to adapt it to suit your needs e.g. for your sport/fitness goals?
