A New Pony in the Stable

April 5, 2016 by Andy

Don’t you just love new things? I do. I’m usually a pretty content person but new stuff gets me all excited.

Thanks to a committed team of educators who planned/executed it, Renda Nelson who recorded it and all the behind the scenes people who posted it, we’re glad to have A Fresh Start to a Healthier You! available as a training option for Master Wellness Volunteers. You’ll find it available for enrollment via the Extension Online Course System.

A Fresh Start to a Healthier You! is a holistic adult-learning series that uses practical experience and information to help change lives and improve health. Participants also gain support and understanding from the instructor and other participants while learning how to provide safe, healthy, and economical meals for their families and themselves.

A part of the Better Living for Texans (BLT) program, A Fresh Start to a Healthier You! includes research-based lessons that integrate the importance of healthy nutrition with an emphasis on increasing fruit and vegetable intake, physical activity, food safety, and food resource management. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the USDA Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and Food and Nutrition Services sponsor this program.

Not to sound too much like a TV commercial hawking a new medication but…talk to your County Extension Agent to see if A Fresh Start to a Healthier You! is right for you (and your county).
