nutrition

my friend Melissa King is a nutrition counselor and life coach with a real lust for life. i met her because she does some work at a club in manhattan where i rent space for massage, and got to know her because she interviewed me for the club newsletter, which she writes. when you visit her site listed there as "my heart dances" you can see all the things she offers, including group and personal cooking classes, and her page of recommended instructors/doctors/other professionals (where i am also listed).
obesity has become a terrible problem for americans, young and old, leading to higher mortality rates, secondary diseases such as diabetes and many musculo-skeletal problems, and an overall diminishing in quality of life. i realize that the adjustments necessary to begin leading a healthier and more nutritionally sound lifestyle may seem very daunting for many; but they do not have to be. approached in the proper way these things can be manageable and therefore more easily incorporated into our lives so that they can become lifelong changes. changes which you will enjoy, introducing you to foods you may never have enjoyed before and to daily routines which can be lived with and which will get you positive results not just now and in the next few months; but for always.
as an exercise physiologist i can assure you that there is alot to the saying "you are what you eat", and that improper nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle are your worst enemies.
please take a moment to think about this, visit Melissa's website, and others like hers to familiarize yourself with the range of possibilities. there is a right one for everyone.
here's to your fully-lived, healthy life!
