Amplifying Support for Physical Activity: The National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health

In September 2022, the White House released the National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition and Health (the National Strategy).1 As the title implies, the National Strategy has a strong focus on ending hunger and improving population nutrition for health. Of the five pillars of the strategy, four are focused on improving food access and nutrition, while one pillar is devoted to “supporting physical activity for all”. The inclusion of support for promoting physical activity in the National Strategy is a timely and welcome addition, and highlights the strong interaction between dietary behavior, physical activity, and health.
