Sisters Together: Move
More, Eat Better is a national initiative of
the Weight-control Information Network (WIN)
designed to encourage Black women 18 and over to
maintain a healthy weight by becoming more
physically active and eating healthier foods.
Sisters Together
works with national and local newspapers,
magazines, radio stations, schools, and consumer
and professional organizations to raise awareness
among Black women about the health benefits of
regular physical activity and healthy eating.
This effort is timely since recent statistics
indicate that nearly 80 percent of Black women are
overweight or obese.
Sisters Together
offers three age-appropriate and culturally
relevant brochures that give Black women, their
families, and their friends practical,
science-based tips to help them move more, eat
better, and ultimately, improve their quality of
life.

Together, please call WIN’s toll-free number

828-1025.
