Produktbeschreibung

Due to some of the limitations imposed by MS, patients often become sedentary, gaining excess weight and developing poor eating and exercise habits. The LIFE Program for MS is a user-friendly teaching tool that helps sufferers to live a healthier life and reduce the chances of secondary illnesses, such as heart disease. Drawing on her work with MS patients, Epstein provides readers with tips and strategies for healthy eating, managing weight, incorporating exercise into daily life, and managing and conserving both mental and physical energy for daily living.
