| Every person has a key role to play
in the pursuit of healthy living. Eating healthy foods promotes
healthy weights and reduces our risk of contracting serious diseases
and chronic conditions that lower our quality of life and add to
rising health care costs. Many factors influence the foods that
we eat, such as cost, availability, advertising, and knowing what
is good to eat. Improvement of our health includes addressing
these factors. Since food and nutrition are key components in the promotion of health and the prevention of disease, please browse the topics below to find more detailed information and great links to nutrition and healthy eating information. |
