Healthy Living & Prevention

We all know that it’s good to exercise, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and get a good night’s sleep. But it’s hard to change our habits, especially if we don’t have persuasive proof that it will improve our lives and health.

The National Research Center for Women & Families is constantly reviewing new research to determine what we can do that will prevent cancer and other diseases, and keep yourself healthy - as well as all those you care about. We provide the latest, most accurate information that you can use to achieve that goal.

Excellent research is being conducted to learn exactly what kinds of foods and what kinds of exercise will help you prevent specific diseases, and what exposures to avoid in your daily life. The results are sometimes confusing, because new products to prevent diseases are aggressively promoted, making it hard to cut through the hype to figure out what are the real risks and benefits of competing products and strategies.

Sometimes the best strategies are ones that don’t cost anything - but who is going to pay to advertise those?

Our goal is to cut through the hype for you. We scrutinize published research findings, and call the scientists for the most up-to-date information. Then we translate it into plain language that everyone can understand.

Here are some of the strategies that you’ll want to know more about, in alphabetical order.
