U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce

Four Pillars

HealthierFeds is based on the four key concepts that shape the President's HealthierUS initiative:

• Physical Activity
  Be physically active every day. Many chronic diseases can be prevented with modest exercise. Learn how to make regular physical activity a routine part of your life.
• Nutrition
  Eat a nutritious diet. Healthy eating is not a fad - it's a lifestyle. Avoiding excessive portions, increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, and good overall nutrition lower the risk of getting heart disease, stroke, cancer, and osteoporosis.
• Prevention
  Get preventive screenings. Screening can protect you and your family from illnesses you can prevent. A simple test like a cholesterol screen or a blood pressure check can reveal current health status and identify a need to adjust diet or behavior.
• Healthy Choices
  Avoid risky behaviors. Avoid tobacco and drugs as well as the abuse and underage use of alcohol and make smart and safe choices in your everyday life.
