Wellness for People with MS

Wellness and the strategies needed to achieve it is a high priority for people living with multiple sclerosis. People want to know what they can do today to feel their best, and whether lifestyle interventions can impact the course of the disease. This spring, the National MS Society published a paper looking at what we know about diet, exercise and mood, and what we still have left to learn.
