News & Announcements

In May we celebrate two National Health Observances, Older Americans Month and National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, both of which offer opportunities to explore the benefits of regular physical activity and their importance to healthy aging. Older adults – individuals aged 65 years and older – can reap big rewards from sitting less and moving more. 

In 2018, ODPHP created the Move Your Way® campaign to promote the second edition of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Now we’ve created the Get to Know the Move Your Way Campaign video to provide helpful information about Move Your Way and how community organizations can use it.

Last week, on May 10, the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee convened in person for its second official meeting. 

As the work of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee gets underway, leaders from HHS’ Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion and USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion have issued a call for the public’s participation in a newly published article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
