It’s hard to imagine…
The Navajo Nation is about the size of West Virginia.
And there are only 10 grocery stores serving that whole area.

That’s not just distance.
That’s long drives.
Higher costs.
Limited fresh food options.

This is why local nutrition education matters.
This is why food access conversations matter.
And this is why EFNEP shows up.

We work alongside families to share simple ways to stretch food dollars, plan smart meals, and make healthy choices — even when options are limited.

Access shouldn’t determine health.
Community makes the difference.

Es difícil imaginarlo…
La Nación Navajo es casi del tamaño de West Virginia.
Y solo hay 10 supermercados para toda esa área.

Eso significa viajes largos.
Costos más altos.
Menos opciones de alimentos frescos.

Por eso la educación en nutrición es tan importante.
Por eso hablar de acceso a alimentos es clave.
Y por eso EFNEP está presente.

Trabajamos junto a las familias para compartir maneras simples de rendir el dinero, planear comidas y elegir opciones saludables — aun cuando las opciones son limitadas.

El acceso no debería decidir la salud.
La comunidad hace la diferencia.

Fresh or frozen? 🥦❄️ Which one is better?

Here’s the truth: BOTH can be healthy!

Frozen fruits and veggies are picked when they are ripe and frozen fast. That helps keep nutrients in. Fresh produce is also a great choice—especially when it’s in season.

The best choice? The one you will use!

👉 Frozen lasts longer and can cost less.
👉 Fresh is great when you plan to use it soon.

Mix it up, save money, and feed your family well.

¿Fresco o congelado? 🥦❄️ ¿Cuál es mejor?

Aquí está la verdad: ¡LOS DOS pueden ser saludables!

Las frutas y verduras congeladas se recogen cuando están maduras y se congelan rápido. Eso ayuda a mantener los nutrientes. Los productos frescos también son una buena opción—especialmente cuando están en temporada.

¿La mejor opción? ¡La que sí vas a usar!

👉 Lo congelado dura más y puede costar menos.
👉 Lo fresco es ideal si lo vas a usar pronto.

Mezcla los dos, ahorra dinero y alimenta bien a tu familia.

When we rest, our brain resets.
Our mood improves.
We think more clearly.
We handle stress better.
Adults need about 7–9 hours of sleep each night to support strong mental health and overall wellness.

Small steps can make a big difference:
• Go to bed at the same time each night
• Turn off screens 30 minutes before bed
• Keep your room cool, dark, and quiet
• Avoid caffeine late in the day
Strong sleep = strong mind.

Cuando descansamos, el cerebro se reinicia.
Mejora el ánimo.
Pensamos con más claridad.
Manejamos mejor el estrés.
Los adultos necesitan 7–9 horas de sueño cada noche para apoyar la salud mental y el bienestar general.
