WHY IS NUTRITION IMPORTANT?
Medical experts recommend that a healthy diet and exercise program will help maintain an ideal body weight and prevent the onset of disease. If you are concerned about your overall health or you have a history of chronic disease, then you may want to meet with a dietitian for an individualized meal plan and expert advice.
