Nutrition, Health & Safety: Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors

Diabetes is a serious problem ... but research shows that if you keep your blood sugar close to normal you can reduce your chances of serious health problems. Take charge of what you eat. Get regular physical activity. Test your blood sugar. Take your medication as prescribed. Use the Control Diabetes For Life archived video presentations to help you learn as much as you can about diabetes.

Seniors and their family members need reliable, unbiased information on available Medicare Prescription Drug plans. Since 2004, UNL Extension and the Nebraska Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) have collaborated to provide that information on the “Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage and Education” website.

One of rural America's and Nebraska's greatest challenges is the drug epidemic, especially methamphetamine. Individuals and communities need simple strategies to help combat this growing problem. Check out UNL Extension’s “METH Educational Resources” page for parent and community resources.
