Healthy lifestyle choices - A New Year a New You

we start the New Year and consider changes we want to make in 2016,
check out some of these healthy behaviors. Healthy lifestyle choices
may help lower your risk of different types of cancer and other health
conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis. It is never
too late to adopt a healthy lifestyle whether it is with food choices
or increasing physical activity, it all helps! Check out our Recipe Search Tool or learn more about exercise and breast cancer risk.
