Managing asthma through fitness

Thanks to on-site health screenings and other programs, Kelly Merkel, a patent attorney in Piscataway, has reduced the number of asthma attacks she experiences through nutrition and exercise.

She's looking forward to receiving more information and resources through LifeSteps. "I would like more help concerning nutrition and exercises specific to my chronic condition," Kelly says. "I get the same information over and over again in my research and most of it I already know. My program has been a piecemeal effort - not a long-term planned approach. That's where a health coach or the LifeSteps Web site could really help me."
