Weight Management
The rate of adult and adolescent obesity is on the rise. Good health begins with effective weight management including proper diet and physical activity.
FAST FACT: To lose one pound of fat, you need to burn 3500
more calories than you consume. To do this, eat foods that are
low in calories and fat content and get regular daily physical activity.
