About the Series
Body Fuel for Healthy Bodies is a health/nutrition series aimed at helping young people understand more about what they eat. It presents foods that are good for them from the different groups in the food pyramid and explores why fueling the body with the right foods helps keep them healthy. A very useful feature of the books is the link between the foods and the digestive system. This is done with labeled illustrations of the digestive system and diagrams showing how the foods are absorbed and the nutrients are supplied to the body. Food allergies and reactions are discussed as are the benefits of fresh versus processed foods.
