MCCHORD FIELD, Wash. -- It may be easy to associate words like potassium citrate, sodium hexameta phosphate, monosodium glutamate and titanium dioxide with a chemistry experiment. But it may come as a surprise to know they are just some of the more common ingredients found in a typical diet today. The names of these ingredients may sound like a mouthful, but having an idea of what they are and how they help the body reach peak performance could be a slice of heaven to Reservists in the 446th Airlift Wing.
That's where Tech. Sgt. Casey Muilenburg and Senior Airman Jennifer White, diet technicians with the 446th Aeromedical Staging Squadron, come in. They run an hour and a half nutrition and weight management class every other Reserve weekend to help Airmen understand proper nutrition and weight management techniques.
"We want to give Reservists resources to help them make better eating choices," said Sergeant Muilenburg, nutritional medicine NCO in charge. "We show them how to choose healthy foods, read food labels, understand the percentage rates the Air Force use as standards, and set realistic goals. Our parents and grandparents gave us the tools, and this class is a refresher to help Reservists remember healthy food is out there," said the Redmond, Wash., native.

Sep07Darren King I have seen this tragedy on UK teielisvon news and have seen United 93 film and WTC film, it really upset me when I saw it happen, to the families who were going through this must of been very hard to cope with, and for all the families who had lost their loved ones. It is so upsetting to see and hear what happened.My heart goes out to all the families who endured this terrible day. I am certain that they are in good hands in heaven and looking down at their loved ones.I really do hope that, hope is only a short twinkle in everyone's heart.My hope, love and peace to everyone. God bless
