Health and Nutrition, Teacher: Michael DeSarro, text: 9780981695426
Could our food choices be the main cause of America’s health problems? The study of health and nutrition is more than
just a look into food and its nutrients. It is an in-depth look at how we eat, what we eat, how the body works, and how
these foods affect the body. This class is not a rehash of what you have already learned in biology or science, but a
discovery of how the body systems are affected by the foods - good or bad - we eat. Research, recipes, and projects will
make Health and Nutrition a fun way to establish lifelong habits and desires to eat wholesome foods that support
great health!
Foreign Language Classes
Without a place of application, foreign language can be tough to do on your own at home. Our classes offer instruction, a
