As a physician, I am alarmed that more of our children are overweight than ever before. But the good news is, you can take action to turn the tide.

Hi, I’m Dr. Griffin Rodgers, bringing you “Healthy Moments” from the NIH. I’m the Director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

You can join forces with a program called We Can! It’s designed for families and communities to help kids stay at a healthy weight. We Can! provides tips and activities that focus on three key behaviors:

  • Improving food choices
  • Increasing physical activity
  • And reducing TV and computer time
Churches, schools, and hundreds of other sites nationwide have joined this health movement. Now, you can too.

To find sites in your community or for free resources, visit the We Can! website at NIH or majic1023.comExit Disclaimer. This is Dr. Griffin Rodgers. Join me next week for more “Healthy Moments.”
