In Kentucky drug and alcohol addiction problems are rising. This rise in addiction is negativity affecting our state’s health and our families.
The men and women living in this addictive state are generally nutrition deficient due to their lifestyle. Therefore, the Washington County Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Assistant has partnered with the One Bridge to Hope in Washington County to bring the Healthy Choices for Every Body curriculum to recovering addicts. In addition to providing information on nutrition and better food practices, each lesson contained a hands-on cooking component.
This group of 8 women had a 100% positive change in consumed fruit and vegetables, 100% improvement in dairy intake, and a 100% positive change in their consumption of solid fats and added sugars.
