Sisters Together: Move More, Eat Better Program Guide

Sisters Together: Move More, Eat Better is a health awareness program that encourages Black women 18 years and older to maintain a healthy weight by being more physically active and eating nutritious foods. It is a project of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, through the Weight-control Information Network (WIN). Sisters Together programs are run locally by dedicated individuals or groups—anyone who sees a need in his or her community and wants to help can start a Sisters Together program.
