In Winnebago County, heart disease followed by cancer are the two leading causes of death. With February being American Heart Month and National Cancer Prevention Month, the Winnebago County Health Department is encouraging residents to Eat S.M.A.R.T. to protect your heart and prevent cancer:
- Smaller portions
- More fruits and vegetables
- Add whole grains and beans
- Reduce sugar and salt
- Try to limit meat and processed food
With February being American Heart Month and National Cancer Prevention Month, it is a great time to start eating S.M.A.R.T. By February 13, commit to Eat S.M.A.R.T. for two months (February 13 – April 10) and get support along the way with weekly emails from your local health department with small steps and resources to support your commitment.
