Teach: Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamins and Minerals

In this lesson, you will learn about vitamins and minerals, two especially important nutrients among the five major nutrients. The goal is not merely to memorize words, but to be able to explain their structures and reasons in your own words.

Key Points
Vitamins and minerals help maintain the body’s condition, and because most cannot be produced sufficiently in the body, they must be obtained from food.
Points to Remember
  • Check the reasons as well as the conclusions
  • Distinguish similar terms and exceptions
  • Try using the same way of thinking with other examples

Practice

  1. Explain the key points in two sentences.
  2. Give one common misconception and explain what is different.
  3. Check your understanding by applying it to a familiar or concrete example.
