     Good Health . . . Naturally!  features hidden treasures relevant to better nutrition for the mother and her family. Through the ages, man has been admonished to practice sound principles of nutrition. Encouragement has been given by various organizations to acquire appropriate skills in food selection and preparation. This book will help to achieve these goals. 

The purpose of this book is not only to show the whys of improved nutrition, but how to apply these ideas. First, the aspects of personal awareness are highlighted. Next, surprising truths about refined and processed foods are explained. The Twenty Steps to Better Nutrition include food choices and methods of preparing such nutritious foods as homemade yogurt, buttermilk, salad dress ings, and whole-wheat bread. Also discussed are ways to avoid junk foods. We, the authors, have applied these steps in our own lives and we have reaped the results of exceptional health. 

To make reaching each step fun and challenging, a goal-selection sheet has been provided to be filled in by the reader as each step is mastered. Sections on menu planning, baking-day tips, grocery shopping guidelines, ways to stretch the food dollar, food storage ideas, and sample recipes are also included to help with the transition to better nutrition.

This practical handbook, kitchen-tested by the authors, would be a valued asset to every homemaker.
