Beta carotene eventually becomes Vitamin A

Hello there. Today we discussed Vitamin A and Beta carotene. I think, it's important for my family to know why we eat certain things- not just because they're good for our bodies but what specific benefits we can get from them. So I did some research on Vitamin A and beta carotene. I'm glad we researched it because I, myself had limited knowledge about food and its vitamin content. These were the things we did today:

Kids helped me cook our breakfast- with my supervision of course.

Our lesson for today: Vitamin A

List of food containing Vitamin A. At the bottom section I showed them food from our fridge that has Vitamin A.

Food with beta carotene

Underneath were the real fruits and vegetables we can see in our fridge.

Their snack: food that has vitamin A (vanilla ice cream) and beta carotene (water melon and carrot).

They were eating while we were having a discussion.

My eldest was answering some of my questions.

We also learned about the health benefits.

Well that's all for now. Till next time :)
