If you are overweight or obese you are at increased risk for a number of health conditions including heart disease, diabetes,
some cancers, sleep apnea and gallstones. The best way to manage your weight is to keep a balance between what you eat and
drink and how active you are.
The MOVE! Program has been tailored to meet the individual needs of each veteran. MOVE! provides
guidance on nutrition and physical activity and allows you to set the pace through goal setting and a stepped level approach.
Your MOVE! healthcare team at your local VA medical center will provide you with lots of support and
follow-up.
