Healthy Living

In the 4-H Healthy Living project, you’ll learn how the choices you make every day affect your overall well-being. From the foods you eat and the activities you enjoy to how you manage stress, money, and even the environment, this project helps you build healthy habits for life. You’ll explore ways to strengthen your body, sharpen your mind, and care for your community while discovering how good health leads to a happier, more balanced lifestyle.
