can set it as a goal and give it an expected date. Work closely with Carrie, Ancil, and Katie However, the purpose of this project is not only to promote whole-grain pizza, but to promote all whole grain products Such as whole-wheat flatbread, whole-wheat

bread, whole wheat wrap, etc.

Internship Project 2: Healthy tips Project

foods rich in iron, such as beef, kale, and spinach !”

Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency65-80% of world population may be iron deficient30% of world population is anemicFemales, vegetarians, vegans are at high risk! Cause severely decreased work capacity!

Be specific “Crave something sweet? Have a baked sweet

potato!”Use sweet potato to substitute fries!

“Want frozen yogurt at Bloomingberry? Try Tahitian vanilla with fresh fruit for a healthy, low sugar, fat-free treat!”

Vanilla is fat free!Fresh fruits may add nutritional value of

frozen yogurt! Live creatures provide probiotics for intestinal
