Healthy Active Communities: Increasing physical activity and encouraging healthy eating habits for North Carolinians.
Currently, one in four children in North Carolina are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. The aim of Healthy Active Communities is to lead North Carolinians, young and old, to healthier, more active lifestyles. We believe one of the best ways to improve the health of our state is to encourage physical activity and healthy eating on the individual, family and community levels.
