The American Council on Exercise (ACE) recently collaborated with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) to co-sponsor an evidence-based guideline and systematic review of the impact of nutrition and physical-activity interventions. AND is the world’s largest organization of food and nutrition professionals and is dedicated to accelerating improvements in global health and well-being through food and nutrition.
