The topic of nutrition has become complicated.   It REALLY shouldn’t be!  Even some of the most basic facts of good nutrition have become ridiculously controversial.  This has left many health desirous people, frustrated, overwhelmed, and unsure of who to believe and what to do first in their quest for health and wellness.

Below are 10 nutritional steps to take to move in the direction of “fit living”.  Because I think these steps relative to nutrition are so crucial and fundamental for good health, I will soon be posting individual articles with a lot more detail on each one of the ten steps.  For now, just take one step, and then another, and then another…………
