| Impact Report | Adult Nutrition Nutritional science has provided compelling evidence that we’re poisoning ourselves with excess food, therefore shortening our lifespan and promoting disease. From birth to 15 years of age, it is critical to ensure that your family has proper nutrition to grow and develop into healthy young adults. The food you provide early in life promotes healthy lifelong eating habits and can help your children/adults manage a healthy weight and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and osteoporosis later in life. Nutrition programs that are provided by extension staff help clientele plan healthier meals, healthier snacks, and stress the need for drinking healthier beverages. Not only does the food you provide promote healthy lifelong eating habits, but it can reduce the risk of chronic diseases later in life. This year 97 adults completed 4 or more nutrition lessons. Over 2,834 people received Nutrition information in the commodity boxes and a monthly basis. Clientele receiving 4 or more lessons attended one or more series of nutrition programs held at an agency or school program. This year 12 agencies requested our services and their members completed one or more nutrition programs from SNAP Education curriculums. |
