The VA's MOVE! Weight Management Program is a comprehensive health initiative designed to help veterans achieve a healthier lifestyle. MOVE! goes beyond just weight loss; it's about empowering you to set and reach your personal health goals, enhancing your overall well-being. The program emphasizes simple, research-backed strategies for healthy eating and physical activity, making it accessible and easy to integrate into daily life.
For veterans with higher body weight, losing just 5%-10% of your weight can lead to significant health improvements. Maintaining a healthy weight not only boosts your energy levels but also enhances your quality of life, allowing you to engage more fully in activities you love.
The MOVE! program offers a personalized approach, with a dedicated care team to support your journey. This team helps you make sustainable lifestyle changes that can improve your quality of life and potentially extend your lifespan. Additionally, the VA provides options like weight management medications and surgery for those who may benefit from these treatments alongside lifestyle adjustments.
