South Dakota's first nutrition and physical activity plan

South Dakota has released its first comprehensive plan to increase healthy eating and physical activity as ways to reduce overweight and obesity and their subsequent risk for chronic disease such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes.

Partners signed on to take leadership roles in implementing this plan but additional organizations, communities, and individuals are needed to carry it out and reduce overweight and obesity in South Dakota.
