White House Partners with Sports Leagues to Boost Youth Health

The initiative aims to promote physical activity and nutrition, targeting an end to hunger and diet-related diseases by 2030.

The White House has partnered with major American sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, and MLB, to promote physical activity and proper nutrition among the nation's youth.
This initiative is part of the White House’s Challenge to End Hunger and Build Healthy Communities, aiming to end hunger and reduce diet-related diseases by 2030.
Sports leagues will engage in various activities, such as expanding existing programs like the NFL's PLAY 60, to encourage children to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day.
Chef José Andrés, co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition, emphasized the importance of integrating food into policy decisions.
More partnerships and commitments are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, highlighting the ongoing effort to promote health and wellness.
