Nutrition
Healthy UNH actively engages in the promotion of, and education about, nutrition that positively influences offerings, individual choices, and community well-being. We do this by:
- Cultivating partnerships across the UNH community to develop a culture of healthy eating;
- Promoting the many nutritional initiatives in place across the UNH campuses; and
- Educating the UNH community about the role of nutrition in supporting healthy lifestyles.
Menus of Change
UNH is one of 37 university dining programs to join the Menus of Change initiative, working to advance healthier, more sustainable life-long food choices among students and faculty.
Hydration Stations
As part of its commitment to the Partnership for a Healthier America, UNH worked to expand the implementation of hydration stations across campus, making free water accessible to all.
Wildcat Plate
In June 2012, Healthy UNH partnered with UNH's Dining Services to launch the Wildcat Plate, a UNH-specific portion plate, to be used in campus dining halls.
Nutrition Counseling
Healthy UNH works to promote healthy and sustainable relationships to nutrition. In working with UNH Dining's registered dietician and Health and Wellness, UNH offers nutrition education and counseling services on a variety of topics.
