The Texas Department of State Health Services' Obesity Prevention Program works to make healthy choices easier for all Texans wherever they live, work, and play.
Being overweight and obese increases a person’s risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and other serious medical conditions.
The Obesity Prevention Program website includes information on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Healthy Food Environments. It includes the Growing Community video series tool to help educate and inspire communities into action to address obesity in Texas.
