One special idea! “The Old Ones Guild”

MAKE 2013 A New Year for Healthy Eating
By Connie Norman Running Wolf Fitness Center is very lucky to have Dana Cordy- Registered Dietitian offer free nutritional counseling at Running Wolf on Mondays from 5 to 7pm. I asked her to write an article this month-Thanks, Dana! 2013 ”“ A New Year for Healthy Eating from Dana Cordy- Registered Dietitian from Native American Community Clinic ”“located on Franklin Avenue and 12th. Having just entered into the exciting and challenging time of New Year”'s resolutions, many people are asking me what changes they can make to their diet to be healthier in 2013. There are many, simple and easy ways to do this. I generally recommend to my clients that they start small with a reasonable, measurable goal. For example, I have many patients who are trying to cut back on sugar sweetened drinks like pop or sweet tea.
