Please contact: | | Wellness Challenge - Refrain from Having Desserts and Sweets for a Week | | | For the upcoming weekly challenge, we are challenging the participants to "refrain from having desserts and sweets for a week." Nutrition and medical experts agree that Americans eat too much sugar, and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend cutting back on the sweet stuff. If you reduce the amount of sugar you eat, you may have more energy, lose weight or stay at a healthy weight more easily, see your triglycerides drop, have fewer dental cavities and even look younger. If you are interested in learning more and participating, click here. | | Our efforts of serving the community is continuing with your gracious support. We added few more projects this year and had very good support from the community.
