On Wednesday, Dec. 8, at 1 p.m. in the MountainView Ballroom, Nancy Teeter MAOM, RDN, will explain how diet influences sleep quality and quantity. Do you know that scientists have discovered specific links between sleep and dietary quality? Do you realize there is a link between sleep and blood sugar, weight, overall nutrition, and food cravings?
