Health and Well-Being-Start those healthy eating habits early!
While cases of cancer may most often occur in older people, the disease can take a lifetime to develop. That's why the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), Washington, DC, is offering publications about healthy eating during pregnancy and infancy.
These publications, Sound Nutrition for Your Pregnancy and Infant Nutrition: Sound Eating Habits Start Early, teach expectant and new parents good nutrition basics for healthy growth, development, and a lower cancer risk.
Variety of topics
"These booklets cover more than cancer prevention," says Melanie Polk, RD, director of nutrition education for AICR. "Pregnancy talks about everything from weight gain, morning sickness, and constipation to food cravings and exercise. Infant covers breast-feeding basics, formula preparation, and which foods to introduce at what age."
The Pregnancy booklets are 25 cents each, and the Infant booklets are 20 cents for orders of 25 or more for health professionals. For a free copy, contact: AICR, 1759 R Street N.W., Washington, DC 20009. Telephone: (800) 843-8114. E-mail: [email protected].
