This book is an excellent resource for health–minded students and their teachers! It is chock–full of colorful, relevant photographs that catch the reader's eye and draw them into the text.

Filled with factual information, the book highlights sports figures that students will readily recognize while teaching the science of nutrition and ways to strengthen your body through the foods you eat. The book is separated into chapters that make finding specific information easy.

There is a comprehensive glossary and additional resources both in text and technological form. The book not only presents essential health facts but also includes recipes, fun facts, and informative captions. The bursts of text along with the vibrant photos make the reader "hungry" for nourishment for both the body and the mind!
