Celebrity chef, registered dietitian team up to create nutrition program for people with MS
December 17, 2010Amanda Freitag, celebrity chef and recurring judge on the Food Network’s “Chopped,” and Julie Barto, a registered dietitian specializing in multiple sclerosis(MS), have teamed up to create a nutrition program especially for people with MS. The MS Active Wellness nutrition program offers easy-to-follow, healthy recipes and videos that address the role nutrition can play in maintaining overall wellness for people with MS atwww.MSActiveWellness.com. In the program’s online video series, Freitag demonstrates how to cook simple MS-friendly dishes at home. The MS Active Wellness nutrition program is part of MS Active Wellness, an online resource that provides tools to help people with MS live well and stay active. The MS Active Wellness initiative launched earlier this year with a fitness program that is also accessible at www.MSActiveWellness.com.
“Many people living with MS don’t know how they are going to feel on a given day, and sometimes just going grocery shopping can be a challenge”
“The MS Active Wellness nutrition program is designed to make healthy eating and good nutrition easy to achieve for people with MS,” said Freitag. “A healthy diet can work wonders for your overall well-being but it can be hard to cook at home every night when living with certain MS symptoms. My hope is that this program will show people that healthy cooking can be done by almost anyone.”
