Reports of the Nutrition & Fitness Taskforce

What can each of us do?

The Nutrition & Fitness Taskforce developed a broad array of ideas about what effingham County residents can do to have good eating practices, exercise routines and healthy lifestyles. These ideas and suggestions make up the recommendations that if adopted by the residents of Effingham County, could go a long way in increasing the number of residents who have good eating habits and exercise routines.

The Taskforce recommendations presented below are divided into categories-home/family, neighborhoods, faith-based institutions, schools, worksites and healthcare providers and related resources. While these recommendations are offered to County residents, they are not all inclusive. These ideas and suggestions represent a foundation upon which each resident can build positive behavior changes into their daily routine or maintain good practices that have already begun.

Each set of recommendations is followed by a list of resources and contacts that are available to assist residents with pursuing their recommendations.
