As part of our weight loss spas Lifestyle Education, we are writing or collecting articles that support the efforts of our health and weight loss spa staff to bring you the best teaching possible.  The basic theme is the Healthy Lifestyle.

We include articles about healthy weight loss, diet and nutrition, chronic disease management and lifestyle issues. How should a person evaluate the low carb diet craze?  What is the best way to get permanent healthy weight loss?  How does all this nutrition information affect your day-to-day activities?  How does the healthy lifestyle help in the fight against chronic disease?

If you receive our email newsletter or paper newsletter, you may have seen some of these articles before.  We try to get them delivered to our Alumni, Guests and friends as soon as we have them.

We hope this section benefits our friends in the larger community, too, as part of our commitment to the healthy lifestyle for everyone.  Click on the links in blue below to read the articles you choose.
