Promote Physical Activity and Healthy Eating with New Move Your Way Resources!

Posted on November 29, 2022 by ODPHP

The U.S Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion  developed the Move Your Way® campaign in 2018 to share key recommendations from the second edition of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Now HHS is releasing new Move Your Way resources for consumers that highlight simple steps people can take to get active and eat healthy. Share the new resources with your audiences today! 

Each resource, is available in English and Spanish, and uses a personal story to give simple, actionable tips for getting active and eating healthy. The stories are based on messaging from Move Your Way and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate campaign — which promotes guidance from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The stories were created for these Move Your Way audiences:

Be sure to share the stories using our sample social media messages and graphics below, available in both English and Spanish, with your audiences to spread the word about the benefits of getting active and healthy eating! To find more social media messages and graphics, visit our audience-specific resource pages.
