Prevention & Healthy Living
Including habits in your daily routine, like physical activity and a healthy diet, can improve your health and well-being, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. For people with chronic diseases, making healthy lifestyle changes can help to manage these conditions and complications.
Nutrition
The foods we eat have a huge impact on our health and how long we live. The combination of an unhealthy diet and too little physical activity is indirectly the second leading cause of death in the United States. Obesity is considered one of the top two causes of death that can be prevented.
