​Nutrition

Proper nutrition is key to keeping current and future Americans healthy across their lifespan.
Currently, Schuylkill County is one of the unhealthiest counties in the state of Pennsylvania. Access to healthy, affordable foods contributes to a person's diet and risk of chronic diseases. With 12% of Schuylkill County residents being food insecure, as of 2019, healthy, affordable food may be hard to find.   Helping Harvest provides food assistance in Schuylkill County.  Visit helpingharvest.org to learn more.
MyPlate offers tips to shop for healthy foods on a budget. From helping you plan your weekly meals to how to shop based on each food group, MyPlate's tips will help you get the most affordable, healthy foods. MyPlate also offers a list of easy, budget-friendly recipes of all different kinds. 
What does it mean to eat healthy? 
Eating healthy means following a healthy eating pattern that includes a variety of nutritious foods and drinks. It also means getting the number of calories that is right for you. Food Groups & MyPlate teach you about a healthy plate and different foods that can be found in each food group.
