Time for a Nutrition Checkup 

Proper nutrition is essential for a healthier life, but knowing what to eat and what not to eat can be difficult to figure out sometimes. Nutrition counseling can help you find the answer.

"Whether you're looking for a sports nutrition plan, want to maintain your current weight or are simply interested in learning more about healthy eating, we can design a nutrition program that is tailored to your specific needs," says Janet Anders, RD, LD, dietitian with Saint Francis Medical Center's Fitness Plus. 

Additionally, good nutrition can lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels while reducing your risk for heart attack and stroke. Nutrition also plays key roles in healthy pregnancies, lowering cancer risks and controlling blood sugar levels.
