EFNEP

By means of the Eating Smart • Being Active curriculum, EFNEP helps limited-resource adults and their families establish and maintain healthy eating habits, physically active lifestyles, and sound nutritional knowledge.

Participants learn to:

• Plan nutritious meals
• Increase physical activity
• Stretch their food dollar
• Practice safe food handling
• Prevent obesity through healthy lifestyles

Eating Smart • Being Active is a research-based curriculum based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines, designed for paraprofessional nutrition educators to assist limited-resource families with young children to make healthy lifestyle choices.
