Max's Healthy Tip of the Week:
Did you know that your diet can help override genetic predisposition to various disease?
If you believe the old adage,
"You are what you eat",
then make it your motto!
On a daily basis try including fruits such as avocados and berries, vegetables including the dark green ones and nuts, whole grains, and fish. These are the heart healthy, body healthy foods that will help to prevent premature aging, gain energy, and help you feel the splendor that only overall good health can bring!
