Oranga Kai:Oranga Pumau (Healthy Eating:Healthy Action)

 

Healthy Eating - Healthy Action, Oranga Kai- Oranga Pumau (HEHA) is a national framework to improve nutrition, increase physical activity and reduce obesity. The vision is to encourage an environment and society where individuals, families, whanau and communities are supported to eat well, live physically active lives, and maintain a healthy body weight. The HEHA strategy recognises that to improve nutrition, increase physical activity and reduce obesity, the work needs to be wide-ranging. Input and collaboration is needed at all levels – (national, regional), in the community and homes - and across all sectors.
