Sizer/Whitney
Learning Objectives
 Identify the best beverage choices to obtain
enough water for the body’s needs.
 Describe the body’s water sources and
routes of water loss, and name factors that
influence the need or water.
 Compare and contrast various sources of
drinking water for safety.
Learning Objectives
 Discuss why electrolyte balance is critical
for the health of the body.
 Describe the nutrients needed to maintain
blood calcium levels, and explain why this
is important.

principles, and specify who might benefit
from such a diet and in what ways.
