Health Talk
Join Dr. Caroline Smith of SportSense Co. at the Grand Park Community Recreation Center for a workshop on healthy eating.  Dr. Caroline Smith specializes in working with individuals and groups blending food and fitness. She recommends starting with the nutrition program first because many times problems in one's health are simply a result of incorrect eating for their body. This is not a diet program, it is about making optimum food choices based on your metabolic profile, blood type, body type, activity levels and genetics. The better food choices, eaten in the right ratio and relationship, help move one's body towards higher levels of health. If there is a weak link in the system it often becomes more evident as one eats more balanced for their body. For more information please go to www.metabolismmagic.com
