Healthy Bites: Why join this food challenge?
Focused on Health - January 2013
Do you want to make healthier food choices? Good for you! Eating the right foods and keeping a healthy weight can help reduce your chances of cancer and other diseases.
But maintaining a healthy diet is often easier said than done. That’s why MD Anderson started a new nutrition program called Healthy Bites.
Anyone can participate!
