The race isn't given to the swift nor the strong, but it's given to the ones who endure it to the end...
Good booklet, I am not sure I agree with everything written, such as the comment that carbonated drinks may stretch your pouch, but there are some good tips. I really wish our centres would get together and have a document that didn't contradict, like HRRH directs patients one way, TWH another. But, that's just the way it is.
