Making Healthier Choices



Did you know that nearly 1 in 3 kids and teens in the U.S. is overweight or obese? That’s a lot of us who are not taking care of our bodies! But being too heavy isn’t really about the way we look. It can cause some serious health problems that we can’t see, like type-2 diabetes and heart disease. Luckily, we can take steps to stay healthy and strong.

empowerME inspires us to eat healthier and move more, motivate each other, and be a solution to America’s obesity epidemic. Our lives, our bodies and our health belong to us. We are the solution to this health problem. Join us—speak up and connect with kids all across America so we can live full, healthy lives.
