Nutrition Education

Healthy Food Choices & Physical Activity

The Brown County WNEP helps educate people about making healthy food choices and balancing that food intake with an adequate amount of physical activity.


Good nutrition starts with making healthy food choices. By balancing our food intake with a moderate amount of physical activity, we can maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is important to continue to educate ourselves about nutrition because our nutritional needs, as well as, the amount of activity we need changes as we age and as we experience different stages in our lives.
