'Take 10' for You...
Nutritional Counseling Helps Improve Health

ave you lost track of the number of diets you've tried? Are you worried about keeping heart disease or diabetes away? The expert advice of a nutritionist—personally tailored to your individual needs—can pinpoint a plan to achieve your goals.

This month's issue also looks at eating to boost your endurance during an exercise workout. If you feel creaky when you wake up, the trainer answers questions about what to do to end that stiffness and whether outdoor temperature affects the number of calories you burn.
