Not only is this year’s Crew getting the opportunity to try out some healthy recipes, but they are also able to use and review a COMPLETE CURRICULUM from Growing Healthy Homes, called Nutrition 101: Choose Life. I would encourage you to visit the website and take the time to watch the video on the home page. To “whet your appetite”, though, here is something information about this exciting and unique curriculum:
The purpose of this curriculum-for-all-ages is to help families understand that they are fearfully and wonderfully made and that food — good and bad — does effect the body. Presented in 448 full-color pages, the program reinforces (or introduces) biology by discussing the major body systems in six easily digestible 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; and 6) Endocrine System and Emotions. Each unit contains four chapters focused on the function and dysfunction of the system and the nourishment needed for optimal health.
448 pages? Wow! The Crew received the e-version of this curriculum to review; but it is also available, via the website, as a print version.
Loaded with lots of facts and helpful information.
I LOVE this book! I'll be using it long after the "lessons" are finished!

What a great product! This is a life long reference manual that will be getting continual use from our family!
This is the health and nutrition class we've been looking for!
I'm so excited to go down a better-nutrition path with this curriculum. Check out my review here: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/LoriLynn/729150/
Great book! We HAVE to eat healthy (not by choice – but because of sensitivity to food additives). This book is a good reinforcement to what we are currently learning to apply in our daily eating habits.
Great product!
Wow! I'm so grateful to own this wonderful product!

Definitely a keeper and one of the best things I have reviewed so far! Could be used in a health/home ec/nutrition/anatomy-physiology class.
It's like nothing else I've seen out there. I'm planning to use it for high school health/science next year! Mom learns something in this one too!
Great product…this will be a long-term study for us…I appreciate that the company name implies a process…we are growing toward a healthy home, but we haven't gotten there yet!

I just love this curriculum, and it is so complete that I doubt I will have to purchase another one!
Wow. A lot of great stuff in there.

This goes way past 101, and I am glad. This is an awesome complete health/nutrition curriculum.
A very detailed curriculum.
I loved it because it goes beyond just teaching the knowledge and encourages what you learn to be put into practice.
Forgot I was not signed in. The above post was left by me. 🙂

interesting program. I think this would be a great program to somehow implement in the public school setting as well.
