U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. released a video message urging the public to take an active role
in their health by adopting healthier lifestyles. In his remarks, the official
emphasized the importance of good nutrition and physical activity as
fundamental elements for improving the population's well-being.
During the message, Kennedy Jr. made a direct appeal to
citizens, stating that "it's time to get America healthy again." As
part of his remarks, he quoted actor and comedian Rob Schneider, recalling his
popular catchphrase, "You can do it!", to motivate people to make
positive lifestyle changes.
The official encouraged the public to consume more
nutritious foods, reduce their consumption of ultra-processed products, and
stay physically active, noting that these actions can significantly contribute
to preventing chronic diseases and improving quality of life. He also

habits that promote physical and mental well-being.

together to make the United States a healthier nation, inviting citizens to
actively participate in this effort through small, everyday changes that,
collectively, can have a positive impact on the health of the population.
