Video: What is Clermont CAN?
Clermont CAN (Coalition for Activity and Nutrition) focuses on increasing physical activity and nutrition in Clermont County residents by encouraging people to Be Active and Eat Smart. Agencies throughout Clermont County have seen increasing rates of chronic diseases attributed to poor nutrition and lack of physical activity. A Health Assessment was conducted during 2008/2009 to gather local data on the current health status of Clermont County residents. This data is being used to develop a plan of target priorities.
We all know we need to get physical activity and eat fruits and vegetables. Clermont CAN encourages simple ways to increase physical activity by visiting local places for no cost or low cost physical activity. Healthy eating can start by visiting a local Farmer’s Market to buy fresh produce. Canned and frozen fruits and vegetables are a good option when fresh produce is not in season.
