HealthyLiving...forLife!

HealthyLiving...forLife! We promote & support healthy foods and physical activity in Alameda County! Healthy Living..For Life!

In Alameda County, the three leading causes of death are heart disease, cancer and stroke, which can be directly linked to poor nutrition habits and the lack of physical activity. To address these and other chronic diseases, as well as the growing rate of obesity, Nutrition Services has adopted a vision that all residents live in safe, connected neighborhoods that offer fresh, affordable foods; choose active, healthy lifestyles; and are engaged in their communities. In 2003, Nutrition Services introduced the Healthy Living…for life campaign, a community outreach initiative designed to raise awareness about nutrition and physical activity, encourage organizations to work collaboratively and mobilize the community to make Alameda County a model for healthy eating and physical activity. Health Living…for life offers a broad spectrum of programs aimed at changing behaviors to create healthy lifestyles. The campaign’s creative and innovative programs are being developed and executed in schools, with seniors, and in collaboration with a wide range of community partners whose programs reach low-income, food stamp eligible residents across Alameda County.

Alameda County Nutrition Services honors our Community Resident Champions for Women’s History Month. Here are words from one of our champions, Tonya!

• What inspired you to start working with us?

I have always been interested in health/nutrition/physical activity. Learning a lot at my first cooking class with Alameda Public Health Nutrition inspired me to tell others.

• What is one moment that reminded you how powerful community-based nutrition education and physical activity can be?

One of my powerful moments working with the community — telling children about how much sugar is in some of the drinks they drink and how concerned they were!

• Share a message of encouragement to uplift us!

My message of encouragement to our community — take healthy living one step at a time…learn healthy information and utilize it even if you start off slow. Healthy living is important not only for yourself but for your families and us as a community.

It’s a great time to sign up. Space available for this free, online class!
