おいしい食べ物とその使い方！消化、栄養、運動！

This class is designed to encourage a healthy appreciation for food, how our bodies digest it, the nutrients we get from each type, how we store extra and how we get rid of waste! The third week will help to foster a love for exercise at a young age by explaining the numerous benefits that exercise brings to the mind and body. My classes are always fun and casual, as this is my teaching style. I encourage free talking and discussion but also create a comfortable environment for the quiet and shy amongst us; you can talk as little or as much as you want! I use conversation, slides and review games to impart the knowledge and encourage questions throughout. You need no prior knowledge to take this course! Please message me if you have any questions!
