Karen Giles-Smith, registered dietitian, and Staci Garcia visited
Detroit,
Grand Rapids and the Flint/Saginaw/Bay City area October 9-20, 2006.
Karen and
Staci were available for TV, radio, and newspaper interviews to provide practical
food and nutrition advice for better health.
We know that many Americans are consuming too many calories, but did you know
that often, we're also undernourished? Most of us aren't getting the nutrients
we need for optimal health.
With easy access to soft drinks, sweets and other empty calories at school
and at work and with less time to be physically active, busy families need to
make health a priority. Karen and Staci shared easy-to-follow tips that can
improve on-the-job wellness and help kids make healthier choices whether at
school, dining out or at home.
