World Health Day 2024
As we celebrate World Health Day on April 7th, 2024, let's check out some tips to make this year our healthiest yet:
  • Build up a healthier plate by incorporating all of the food groups: fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products.
  • Try to incorporate 30 minutes of moderate activity every day, such as a brisk walk, an easy bike ride, etc.
  • Remember to keep foods safe by:
    • Keeping your hands and kitchen surfaces clean to help prevent risk of foodborne illnesses.
    • Keeping raw meat and eggs separate from ready-to-eat foods to help prevent contamination.
    • Cooking raw meat and eggs thoroughly to help prevent risk of foodborne illness.
    • Making sure that refrigerated items are put back within 2 hours to prevent bacterial growth.
  • Try a health and nutrition class, like those offered by your local Cooperative Extension office!
