I came across a wonderful Science resource called Growing Healthy Homes that I was able to review this last month. The book I received is called Nutrition 101: Choose Life.

If you are looking for a great Science curriculum, wanting to eat more healthy, or just get some good healthy eating information for yourself or your children, this book will do it.

I have been reading about healthy eating for about 20 years. What time and energy it would have saved me to have this kind of resource available to me. There is SO much information in this book, but it is organized in such a way that it doesn’t feel overwhelming at all. I love the recipes and charts, but then I’m a recipe and chart person. The pictures are wonderful too.
