Foods I: Water & Electrolytes

Today we talked about the importance of water for our bodies. But, just like any nutrient, too much water can be harmful for our bodies. Most people do not get enough water throughout the day, though, so it's not as much of a concern as other nutrients are in excess.

To make up today, you'll need to go through the Water & Electrolytes PowerPoint and take notes using the note guide. You'll then need to create a water bottle label (the instructions are on the PowerPoint) to turn in with your note guide.

Thanks.
