ABBOTT 2013 ANNUAL REPORT
ON THE COVER:
MARISELA HERNÁNDEZ
ENSURE ADVANCE,
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
Marisela has always been an active person. But when
she was in her mid-40s, she began to feel noticeably less
energetic and strong. After consulting her doctor, she
began to take a more active approach to maintaining her
health, drinking Ensure Advance and working out more
regularly at a gym near her home. Today, at 60, she feels
much stronger and has more energy for her busy career
as a financial consultant.
