Lesson 4 "I eat, therefore, I am."
In Lesson 4 we are going to carry forward the theme from Lesson 3. In Lesson 4, we will learn what the body uses from food to fuel, maintain, repair, and build our body and body processes--and how they impact our health. We also learn what foods are the primary (and healthiest) sources of those nutrients and substances.
