More and more we are coming to realize that diet, exercise, and attitude have everything to do with lasting good health. With the pace that most of us keep in managing our lives, it's often difficult to know where to start improving our diets. Cherie Moore is trained, experienced and dedicated to teaching people practical ways to improve their eating habits and health. Fat loss, disease prevention, and improved sports performance are not gained from food restriction, but knowing those foods that are healthful and can be eaten in abundance. In her Cuesta College nutrition classes, Cherie helps to dispel the myths generated by popular ads and fads and focuses on the current accurate information about food and nutrition.
