How's it going, everyone?

Welcome back to another episode of the Nutrition Science Podcast.

I am your host, Dr. Adrian Chavez.

as well when we have discussions about this topic.

So that's the topic of our discussion

today and I'm going to go ahead and get right into it. The first and most important thing

that I recommend, if you can, is to stay as active as you possibly can. And that means if you can,
