Many chronic diseases can be caused by key risk behaviors. You can reduce your likelihood of getting a chronic disease and improve your quality of life. For example, eating healthy and being active can help prevent, delay, and manage heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic diseases.

The Fulton County Board of Health (FCBOH) Chronic Disease Prevention program has launched an online learning series called Keys to a Healthier You! This series will cover three topics, each 60-minute in length and designed for adult and senior populations.  Each session will provide information on strategies to prevent chronic disease.  You will learn about free programs offered by the FCBOH to help you on your journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Healthy Eating: MyPlate 101

Everything you eat and drink matters. The right mix can help you be healthier now and in the future.

This fun and interactive session will provide participants with an overview of the health benefits associated with MyPlate and how this tool can support chronic disease prevention.

Active Living

Regular physical activity and exercise can have immediate and long-term health benefits. Most importantly, regular activity can improve your quality of life. This fun and interactive session will provide you with an overview of the benefits of physical activity and will provide practical tips on how you can incorporate physical activity into your daily life.
