Health At Every Size ® (HAES®)* is an approach to wellness that promotes good nutrition and physical activity habits for the sake of health and well-being rather than trying to control body weight. It respects and celebrates all types of body shapes and sizes. In other words, you don't have to lose weight to become healthier and happier.
Focusing on your health, finding peace with your body and listening to your true needs can help you to:
- feel happier
- have more energy
- reduce your risk of chronic disease
- better manage health problems like diabetes and heart disease
- enjoy a more positive relationship with food and activity
By practicing HAES you might lose weight, or you might not. Weight is not the focus. What is important is your health and respecting your body. You can improve your health in the body you have right now.
To learn more about HAES and how it can improve your health, check out the HAES Community website. You can also sign up for Healthy You, a 12-week lifestyle program that follows the HAES approach to wellness.
