Smart Bodies is one of our BCBSLA Foundation’s signature programs. With childhood obesity in Louisiana reaching epidemic proportions, Smart Bodies provides a comprehensive, interactive health program with nutrition education and promotes increased physical activity for children grades K-5.   Smart Bodies is a joint initiative of Blue Cross and the LSU AgCenter, bringing together the largest domestic health insurer in Louisiana with the state’s largest university system in a private-public partnership working to prevent childhood obesity.
