Fit 4 Colorado is a statewide educational initiative to improve the health and well-being of Coloradans through free educational information and on-line resources to help children and adults make small changes to increase activity and eat healthier.
Part of a balanced diet is trying new and different fruits and vegetables. Recently, CBS4 Medical Editor Dr. Dave Hnida presented a lesson on unusual produce to the 2nd graders at our Fit 4 Colorado Strong School.

CBS4 presents a chance to chat anonymously with a doctor through "Talk to the Doc," an Emmy-award winning monthly live Web video chat. The next chat will be on Dec. 8 at 11 a.m. and the topic will be "having a healthy back." See the video archive of all of CBS4's chats.
Each month, CBS4 and America on the Move partner with a different city to host a Community Walk with local elected officials and CBS4's Jennifer Zeppelin.
