National Nutrition Month Recipe Contest Presented by NFCR

About the National Nutrition Month Recipe Contest

March is recognized annually as National Nutrition Month. While a healthy diet can positively impact many areas of your life, a poor diet can lead to an increased risk in six of the most common cancer types worldwide. Living a healthy lifestyle and eating a nutritious diet could prevent about 40% of common adult cancers.

NFCR is committed to improving education and awareness around the positive impact of living a healthy lifestyle on preventing cancer.

Through our National Nutrition Month Recipe Contest, NFCR hopes to bring a variety of accessible, healthy, anti-cancer recipes to the public in a fun and engaging way. We hope that this contest and the videos encourage the public to pursue and stick to a healthy lifestyle. In celebration of National Nutrition Month, join the National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) in sharing your favorite healthy recipe.
