“MEND stands for Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do It! The MEND 7-13 Program is one of the world's largest evidence-based healthy lifestyle program that empowers overweight and obese 7-13-year-olds, with the support of their families, to reach and maintain a healthy weight. It does this by helping families change unhealthy attitudes about food and activity (Mind), keep physically active on a regular basis (Exercise), learn how to choose foods that are healthy, tasty and nutritious (Nutrition), and take action to maintain a healthy lifestyle-for life (Do It!). RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT PROGRAMS THAT COMBINE BEHAVIOR CHANGE, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND NUTRITION WITH ONGOING SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES ARE MORE LIKELY TO PRODUCE LONG-LASTING HEALTH BENEFITS. THE MEND 7-13 PROGRAM HAS BEEN DESIGNED BY CHILDHOOD OBESITY EXPERTS TO CONTAIN ALL OF THESE VITAL ELEMENTS. MEND 7-13 MEETS THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE US PREVENTIVE SERVICES TASK FORCE FOR IMPROVING PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH IN OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE CHILDREN. OVER 80,000 PEOPLE IN 5 COUNTRIES HAVE ALREADY BENEFITTED FROM ATTENDING A MEND PROGRAM. MEND 7-13 AND MEND 2-5 ARE CURRENTLY BEING RUN IN DIVERSE COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE US, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YMCAS, PARKS AND RECS, FQHCs AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS.
