Avoid trans fats! 

Consuming even a tiny amounts of trans fat can greatly increase your risk of heart disease.  These are found in foods that contain "partially hydrogenated" oil as an ingredient, such as commercially produced baked goods.  Trans fat is the world's most unhealthy fat!

Limit saturated fat!

Foods to avoid include bacon, beef, butter, full-fat dairy products, coconut oil, ice cream, lard, palm oil anpork.  Read food labels, aiming for less than 15-25 grams of saturated fat daily.

**************************************

 

Better Health was founded in 1958 by a group of ordinary, yet extraordinary, citizens who were concerned that the indigent could not afford their medications. From that simple starting point Better Health has bridged the gap in healthcare for 51 years. One of these founders, Ruth Peters, served as Executive Director for the first 25 years, providing assistance from her home!  In 1992, Better Health named its highest volunteer award in her honor.  Her life spanned the gamut from the Army Nurse Corps during World War II in India to one of the top five North Carolina Senior Citizen Jaycees in 1987. 

 

Better Health became a United Way agency in 1959 and was incorporated in 1991 as a non-profit organization under federal law 501(c)3. The agency expanded to become a full time, full service agency governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.

 
 

 

Welcome to the homepage of Better Health. Better Health is a local not-for-profit agency that was established in 1958. Our mission is to provide for the unmet healthcare needs of Cumberland County residents through assistance, referral and education. All services are designed to create a "healthier community".
