• Program description Nutrition plays a vital role
  in overall health. Research has found that diet
  is associated with the leading causes of death,
  many of which are preventable - heart disease,
  diabetes, obesity and several types of cancer.
  Despite the importance of diet many Washington
  County residents fail to follow recommendation of
  the Dietary Guidelines and the My Pyramid which
  could help lower the risk of chronic diseases.
  All of these factors point to a need for
  educational programs and information on healthy
  diets and increased physical activity and helping
  county residents make behavior changes toward
  overall good health and well-being. Target
  audiences were clientele at senior centers, civic
  clubs, and clientele and staff from other state
  and county agencies.
