Healthy Eating Program
We believe that food nourishes the body, nurtures the spirit, and is essential for health and healing. Our research focuses on how diet can help prevent and control diseases like cancer. We are now offering counseling services to the public.
Services
The UC San Diego Healthy Eating Program is designed to help you adopt a diet that will promote health and fight disease. You can choose from a variety of services, including:
