Promoting Healthy Eating and Physical Activity for a Healthier Nation

Introduction

This chapter provides a framework for a comprehensive program to address the problems of poor nutrition and physical inactivity on a state or community level. This framework is designed to give state and local guidance in establishing a coordinated, comprehensive nutrition and physical activity program and soliciting a broad coalition of stakeholders and partners. Health and human services are in a unique position to strengthen and coordinate efforts to improve nutrition and physical activity among Americans.
