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.
