We want all Kansans to get involved with this site and commit to make changes that improve
your physical well-being through:
- Increasing your physical activity levels to at least 30 minutes five days each week
- Eating a healthy, nutritious diet (including five daily servings of fruits and vegetables)
- Stop using tobacco products, or significantly reduce your consumption
To take that first step toward becoming a Healthy Kansan, I invite you to Take the Healthy
Kansas Pledge on this site. It’s easier than you think to make changes in your health by using
the activities above to make positive health changes in your life.
Come back often to this site as we announce resources, and events across this great state
to bring children, adults and seniors together to make a Healthy Kansas.
