body from sunlight?

Which of these vitamins can be taken into the

body from sunlight?

vitamin A vitamin B vitamin C vitamin D

vitamin A vitamin B vitamin C vitamin D

The right answer is D.

Vitamin D is needed by the body to absorb calcium which helps maintain healthy bones. Most people who are out and about absorb plenty of this vitamin through the sun's rays, but older people, especially those who are housebound, need to take extra care that they have a sufficient vitamin D intake - everyone over the age of 65 is recommended to take a daily vitamin D supplement. Food sources of vitamin D include margarine and oily fish.

What is the difference between a 'use by' date and a

'best before' date?

What is the difference between a 'use by' date and a

'best before' date?

a 'best before' date shows how long a shop can sell a food, 'use by' shows when you need to eat it

they mean exactly the same, but 'best before' is used for packaged foods

'best before' gives a deadline for freezing food, 'use by' gives a date for eating it

a 'use by' date is given for foods that could be dangerous if you eat them after expiry, a 'best before' date just shows it might not taste as good

The best answer is D.

Foods, such as meat and fish can cause food poisoning if they aren't eaten within a certain time limit, even if they look and taste fine. These foods are marked with a 'use by' date. Other foods, such as coffee granules and biscuits have a 'best before' date because they may not look or taste as good after the expiry date.

sprinkle salt over your dinner, eating more than the recommended daily allowance is alarmingly easy - 75 per cent of salt we consume is already in the foods we eat, such as ready-made soups, breads and ready meals. High salt intake is linked to raised blood pressure, so it makes sense to cut down.
