This review is from: Nutrition (Reading Essentials in Science) (Library Binding)

Part of the "Reading Essentials in Science: Healty Living" series, Nutrition is a picturebook for grade-school children about the importance of healthy eating habits, how people in America used to eat, what serving sizes are, and what fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and fluids do for the body. Offering basic scientific nutritional information in plain terms, with a glossary and index to help beginning readers, Nutrition also combines sound advice with its basic facts, including table rules such as "limit the amount of salt used; experiment with other seasonings" and "think like a rabbit - begin your meals with a small salad." An excellent life lesson book for young people, offering especially vital lessons in a modern era filled with advertising for sugary sweets and unhealthy foods.
