About Mums United 

Rarely a day goes past without a segment on TV or a story in the newspaper about Australia’s growing waistline and, with it, the increased risk of all sorts of  serious health problems like cancer, type two diabetes and heart disease. 

So we all know it’s important to be a healthy weight, but with so many conflicting health recommendations out there, it’s pretty difficult to know which ones you should be following.

That’s why the Heart Foundation, through Mums United, have taken all of the confusion out of healthy eating and activity advice, by offering simple changes that can make a real difference to you and your family’s health. It’s practical advice too – ideas that won’t cost heaps of cash, take loads of time or drain all the fun out of your weekend. But most importantly, because it’s from the Heart Foundation, you know it’s information you can trust.

We appreciate that you alone can’t change the nation’s collective waistline. That’s why we’re asking Mums across Australia to unite and work together to solve the problem. We promise to do our bit too – check out our manifesto for how we’re pledging to help.

If we all make small healthier changes to our routine, they will all add up to something much, much greater. By joining together, we really will have the power to change the shape of the nation.

So, why not take your first step today? Go on, we know you can do it.  We’ve got loads of fun things to help get you started, like a family walks tracker that your kids (and dog!) will love, online quizzes where you can find out the facts behind food fiction, as well as lots of free family recipes that are easy to make and easy on your purse.
