Department of health launches Bigbendbetterliving.org

The Florida Department of Health has launched a new website to help residents of the Big Bend get healthy. 
Bigbendbetterliving.org is a new website specifically for people in Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Jefferson, Leon, Madison, Taylor and Wa
kulla counties offering online support on how to eat healthy and be physically active.
According to the Department of Health, the eight-county regions had an average of 69 percent of adults who were overweight or obese in 2010.
This is nearly five percent higher than Florida’s statewide average.
Bigbendbetterliving.org combines traditional healthy eating and physical activity tips with regionally-specific suggestions to offer a customized tool for residents and visitors to the eight-county region.
The website shares information and lists of specific farmers markets and gyms in the region, places to be active outdoors, and recipes that come from hunting your own food.
The Department of health said the site was tailored to the needs of this community, and will hopefully help individuals lead a healthier life.
