A well-balanced diet plays an important role in maintaining our health. Healthy diets not only allow our bodies to function, they can also help us reach and maintain a healthy bodyweight, reduce our risk of developing chronic disease, and improve our mood and mental wellbeing.

Beach Balance’s Nutrition Counseling program is a collaboration with Long Beach State University's (LBSU) Family and Consumer Science Department. They provide dietetic students the opportunity to share their nutrition knowledge with members one-on-one. Sessions are FREE of charge, range from 30-60 minutes, and are aimed at helping all SRWC members discover ways to improve their diet.

Our Nutrition Counselors Can Provide Information On:

• Basic nutrition concepts, such as macronutrients and how to read food labels
• Dieting for weight loss or weight gain
• Eating for improved sports performance
• Dietary suggestions for medical conditions such as cholesterol or high blood pressure
