    Amazing Resource

    Posted by Kimberly Ryan on 13th Oct 2023

    I have absolutely LOVED using Nutrition 101: Choose Life as a homeschool science course for my 7th grade daughter!! It is on point with honoring our bodies as God’s creation and a temple of His Spirit as well as aligning with my training as a functional nutritionist. Most health science and nutrition curriculums out there teach outdated main stream food pyramid theories, but this book teaches the importance of eating quality whole food, the way God made it, to nourish the entire body! I love how it’s broken into units that focus on each body system but also continues to emphasize how each system works together as a whole. Mainstream science today really fails to educate students on how the body works together as a whole and how each system effects the function of the whole body… the idea that when one system has disfunction the whole body is effected or vice versa when one system thrives it benefits the entire body as a whole. I also love that it includes the importance that toxins play in effecting our health and so much more! My daughter and I have loved making a weekly recipe together as well and it is giving her kitchen and cooking skills that will serve her throughout her life! Priceless!! I would recommend this book 100x times over to anyone, adult or child, out there wanting to gain the basics in knowledge on the truth of health and nutrition! This book is for anyone and everyone, homeschool or not… you could use it as a whole family study as well!! Thank you Growing Healthy Homes Team for creating such an invaluable resource!!!

    Great Informative Book

    Posted by Kelly Pearson on 5th Dec 2020

    This book is very informative and has a great layout. I love the fact that it's not just about nutrition, but about all of the systems that make up the body and how they work. We are just getting started but I think this book has the potential to better your life through the daily choices you make about nutrition, ultimately leading to living a longer and healthier lifestyle.

    Great curriculum but...

    Posted by Courtney on 1st Feb 2019

    This curriculum is one of a kind. I am happy I found this because I am very health oriented. The curriculum overall is wonderful, I only wish they had answers to discussion questions, it would make it much easier. Also, a few of the information in here is not correct like eating 5-7 serving of grains per day. Our bodies can only digest a handful of grains per day and most of the grains sold in the US are gmo. Ancient grains are best. There is a few other things that I don’t agree with but that’s really easy to skip over. Overall it’s a great curriculum and I highly recommend. I will use it over the years with my children..

    Every family needs a copy

    Posted by Joanna Stewart on 4th Jul 2017

    This is one of the most important books in our home. I used it to teach Nutrition/Health to all 3 of my daughters. It's packed with more information than can be studied in one school year. Our family refers to it over and over.
