funschooler5 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'm looking for a basic health book for my teens, that focuses on good foods and exercise. Not necessarily a textbook, just something that that might be somewhat interesting for them to read. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dina in Oklahoma Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Perhaps the selections used by Oak Meadow. Also, the text isn't bad either.http://www.oakmeadowbookstore.com/Curriculum/High-School-Courses/High-School-Health-Physical-Education-c169/:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 How about something like Mark's Daily Apple (website)? It covers both healthy eating and exercise and often discusses/links the most current research studies in both areas. It is very popular and interesting to read. I really enjoy it. I especially like that he states that your diet doesn't have to be perfect 100% of the time. My only criticism of his site is that he does promote his own products for sale. Just skip those posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 This is the textbook TTUISD uses. I bought the hard cover version for DD, hoping that it will be a book she refers to for many years. When I read the reviews on Amazon, as I recall, they were quite positive. Corbin, C. B., and Lindsey, R. (2005). Fitness for Life (updated 5th ed.).
