Nutrition 101~Review



This review is for Nutrition 101 Choose Life. This is a complete curriculum for all ages. It is co-written by Debra Raybern, N.D., Sera Johnson, Laura Hopkins and Karen Hopkins. It is jam packed with 448 pages. This is a very well written e-book. It is broken down into six units.

  1. The Brain and Nervous System
  2. Digestion and Elimination
  3. Respiration and Olfactory
  4. Muscular and Skeletal Systems
  5. Cardiovascular and Immune Systems
  6. Endocrine System and Emotions
This is a bible-based curriculum and it is not your typical text book. It is written as a unit study. Each unit contains four chapters at the end of each chapter there are discussion questions, activities and an additional resource section that lists additional websites and books so that you may delve deeper into that chapter if you so choose. There are also 80 family friendly recipes for you to try.

This e-book gives you the tools to start on the road to a more healthy life style not just telling you what you should eat, but why you should and how the body reacts and processes what you do eat. It can easily be a full year curriculum for a middle to high school age student or also easily adaptable to the younger elementary grades. This would also make a wonderful family study.

I will be using parts of this with the boys. They are very excited to be learning about the human body this year and this will fit perfectly with what we are studying. I decided to print out a few chapters at a time and go from there. I think I will eventually print the entire e-book and have it bond but for now this is working for us.

There are many subjects that can be covered with this e-book, science, anatomy, biology, health, nutrition and home economics. We are having a cooking day each week for school and I am excited to try some of these recipes with the boys as we learn about healthy and more nutritious foods.

Prices are as follows:

The CD-Rom is $79.95
Book is $99.95
Combo Book and CD Rom is $129.95
