The office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, under the Dept. of Health and Human Services has these objectives to measure our nations progress in critical area of public health (Healthy People 2030)
As a country our goal should be to ensure the citizens are healthy and well. Many of the foods we consume are not healthy, but they sure taste good.
It is your responsibility to eat well and take care of your body. Many in our society do not have that luxury due to food deserts in their neighborhoods and finances.
The data presented on the site is to help communities and other organizations to focus their efforts to improve the health and wellness of all people in their communities through these objectives set by the government (Healthy People 2030).
The list is pretty expansive and is categorized by life stages to address wellbeing, life expectancy, mortality and health.
We have to do our part to educate ourselves about living a healthy lifestyle, but many do not have a choice and are doing the best they can.
