Today's tip:
Wellness


There is no such thing as a magic pill for weight loss. Try to avoid a diet where you consume only one type of food (i.e., the grapefruit diet, lemonade diet, etc.). You cannot get your body’s nutrients through this technique, and this can lead to sickness or injuries. Watching what you eat and adding physical activity is the best way to lose weight.

-- Corey Snyder, WorkLife Programs intern
