EAT HEALTHY, BE ACTIVE

We all know we should eat healthy and be active to stay well. We get lots of advice about the best way to do this—especially from the media. It’s hard to know what is true or what works best. Public health can help. Public health scientists study these complex issues to learn what really works.
