June 23 Potomac Community Village meeting hosts dietitian and personal trainer with expert advice
Bringing their combined education, expertise and experience in the fields of nutrition and exercise to Potomac residents, Jessica and David Murgueytio are the featured speakers at Potomac Community Village's (PCV) June 23rd meeting. Their presentation, "Eating and Exercising for Vitality - How Our Needs Change Throughout Our Lives," highlights two key aspects in healthy aging: how we move and what we eat.
"Our requirements for diet and exercise change throughout our lifespan and are absolutely key to maintaining our health and independence," says Jessica. Specializing in weight loss and diabetes management to enhance aging and vitality, Ms. Murgueytio is a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator with bachelor's and master's degrees in clinical nutrition.
David Murgueytio specializes in corrective exercise and performance enhancement and focuses on functional movement patterns, strength and conditioning. "Strength training is one of the most important aspects of keeping the body functioning well. Preserving lean muscle mass, either with free weights or machines, can help to prevent or manage chronic disease," he states.
