January Meeting Recap
Jay Foster, Licensed Nutrition Counselor and Certified Clinical Nutritionist as well as radio show host, gave a presentation on herbal solutions for common health issues and natural ways to control cholesterol and triglycerides.
Highlighted were solutions for arthritis and inflammation that did not include over-the-counter medications. He then moved on to cholesterol lowering remedies and emphasized the possible dire side effects of pharmaceutical compounds.
His program also suggested dietary changes that could be made by almost anyone which would benefit them. Mr. Foster stressed that deficiencies in mineral and vitamin nutrients are the main culprit in bodily imbalances.
