Dr. Miriam Nelson, the Director of the John Hancock Research Center on Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Obesity Prevention at Tufts' Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, was recently quoted in an article on www.newarkadvocate.com, where she said "Many women do less exercise as they age when they need to be doing as much or more."
Not only is Nelson " one of the country's leading researchers on exercise for women, and she co-chaired the committee that created the government's 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans," according to the article, but she also has a new book coming out, "The Strong Women's Guide to Total Health," which she co-authored with Jennifer Ackerman.
The whole article, where Nelson details how women can stay healthy as they age, can be accessed here.
