Milk, yogurt, and cheese are all good sources of calcium.

Oranges, grapefruit, and strawberries are all good sources of vitamin C.

Sunlight, fatty fish, and fortified milk are all good sources of vitamin D.

Red meat, poultry, and beans are all good sources of iron.

Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are all good sources of fiber.

Fatty fish, nuts, and seeds are all good sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

Frying is not a healthy cooking method because it adds unhealthy fats to food.

Planning your meals ahead of time, cooking at home more often, and reading food labels carefully are all good ways to make healthy eating easier.
