Create Better Health

The Create Better Health (SNAP-Ed) Online Course is a free series that will help you learn how to eat well and be active on a budget! The course was developed by the Utah State University Extension Create Better Health (SNAP-Ed) program based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans, MyPlate, and the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The lessons include a nutrition topic, food resource management skills, physical activity discussions, and quick, healthy recipes.

Create Better Health is Utah’s SNAP-Education program. The goal is to help people cook healthy meals on a budget, buy and prepare whole foods, understand food labels, practice safety in the kitchen, and much more. With the increase in disease and obesity in the United States, there is an obvious need for more education to promote positive lifestyle changes. Create Better Health is designed to increase the knowledge, skill set, and overall well-being of those it serves. The Abilene-Taylor County Public Health District has permission from Utah State University to use the Create Better Health material.
