About this episode

Clinical Dietician May Sakr, with 20 years of experience at AUBMC’s Department of Clinical Nutrition, speaks music to our ears when she advises us to “enjoy what makes you happy” – but she simultaneously speaks science when she says that while we eat what pleases us we must also balance among all the food groups and exercise regularly. She explains both the commercial and cultural dimensions of how we eat and the basic rules of healthy nutrition.
