Listening Practice: Nutrition Posted by on Oct 12, 2010 in Learning

While searching for interesting videos in Portuguese, I came across this one, and I really liked how clearly and relatively slowly the presenters speak, which is especially useful for those learning a language. In this short TV segment from the Band channel, the speakers discuss nutrition, and recommend some natural foods.  They discuss some of the properties of various fruits, vegetables, and grains and how they can impact health.

Watch the video and try to answer the questions about nutrição (nutrition).
