Did You Eat Your Vitamins Today

Illustrated rhyming text introduces readers to the different vitamins that people need, why they are needed, and foods that contain them.

The A-to-Z guide to essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, so you can ditch synthetic supplements and promote health naturally with nourishing foods. Vitamins and minerals are the building blocks of good health. But the heavily processed foods that are so common in today’s modern diet are stripped of these nutrients, leaving many people nutrient deficient despite meeting (or exceeding) their daily calorie needs. The accepted solution is to take supplements created in a lab, but the dosage and interactions can be confusing, and supplements are loosely regulated and not always foolproof, especially since our bodies are designed to receive nutrients from natural, whole foods. Eat Your Vitamins features fifty key vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients essential to your health. You will find clear definitions of each nutrient along with the role it plays in the body, how it is best consumed and absorbed, recommended daily doses, and detailed lists of foods and natural sources that contain the vitamin along with a recipe for a nutrient-rich meal. Ditch the synthetic supplements and make the right choice about how to properly feed and fuel your body.

It was just a little white lie. What could possibly go wrong ... If a super-cute boy (one you really want to impress) assumes that you’re a championship skier and snowboarder, is it really that big of a deal if you don’t set him straight? When a teensy fib starts snowballing out of control, Hannah Smart realizes she needs cash to keep from being found out. She takes a part-time job at the local TV station where her dad works as the weatherman. After nearly killing a woman (it was an accident!) and then saving her on air, Hannah unexpectedly finds herself in front of the camera again. Loving the spotlight, Hannah is swept up in the excitement of TV land, but with the school ski trip coming up, she soon realizes that some secrets are impossible to keep hidden. But wanting to come clean and doing it are two very different things.

OMG! Hannah Smart is here with three full books in one bundle: Operation Josh Taylor, On a Slippery Slope, and In Over Her Head. With ingenious schemes, slight exaggerations, a sprinkling of star power, and a dash of horrible surprises, Hannah is ready to take on the world — or die trying. Includes: Operation Josh Taylor: Hannah Smart #1 To see teen idol Josh Taylor in concert, Hannah Smart is prepared to face bullies, learn terrible secrets, and discover hidden talents.

But the fib starts to grow, especially when she lands a job on TV and soon Hannah finds herself on thin ice ... will she still have friends when she tells the truth? In Over Her Head: Hannah Smart #3 Hannah Smart is terrified of the ocean, but when the TV network wants her to participate in the same shipwreck treasure-hunting reality show as the boy she’s crazy about — and the girl he may have once kissed — how can she say no?
