Eat Your Vitamins by Mascha Davis

EAT YOUR VITAMINS by Mascha Davis reflects her credentials: Masters of Public Health and Registered Dietician Nutritionist. This book is packed with information and will serve as a ready reference source for our Health classes, especially during their Nutrition Unit when they complete a project on various foods and their components. Davis has organized this text alphabetically with entries for roughly 50 vitamins, minerals and nutrients.  For each, she includes comments about its role in the body, signs of deficiency, how much one needs, and natural sources. A recipe, such as Asian-Inspired Beef and Broccoli (for iron), follows. Nutrition information is included, but photos are not. The cover of EAT YOUR VITAMINS is appealing and in line with the images on Davis’ blog where she posted in early March about the Corona diet, reminding readers to build immunity and eat vegetables of all colors, lean protein, and nuts and seeds.
