How can we help prevent overweight and obesity
in children? NHLBI and three other Institutes of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) are collaborating to spread the
word about We Can! (Ways to Enhance
Children's Activity and Nutrition). We
Can! is designed as a one-stop resource for
those interested in practical tools to help children 8-13

you or your organization or community group to get involved in
We Can! Check out the ideas we've
