They are so fun and really keep your kid’s attention! There’s not much more exciting that creating volcanos, testing magnets out, growing crystals or learning about how your body works. Each kit contains three different areas of study that contain 4 to 5 different experiments so you really get your money’s worth! The kit contain hours of fun and are perfect for scientists both young and “older”.

The book is divided into three parts. Part One of The Life Plan Diet focuses on weight and how it affects a man’s overall physical, mental and sexual health. Part Two will tell him exactly how to shed those unwanted pounds by choosing good food (and why he should choose those foods!) and starting a manageable exercise regimen. Lastly, part three focuses on maintenance. While other books skip over this, Dr. Life goes into much-needed detail about how to maintain the positive changes your man has worked so hard for.
