What does a healthy school look like? Most people would agree that a healthy school would include learning well, eating well, and having time for breaks that include physical activity. Unfortunately, many kids are losing out on recess to increase activity in schools. Studies suggest that children are less likely to meet the recommendations for daily physical activity and are more likely to engage in sedentary behaviors. So how can we ensure all kids, including Latinos, eat and play well for a healthier life? Schools are where kids spend most of their time and consume half of their daily calories. Follow #SaludTues to tweet with us on Jan. 19, 2016, as we unveil the results of a new study that explores the impacts of unhealthy foods and unhealthy school environments that ...

To date, nearly 17 million individuals have gained coverage through the ACA and it has seen the largest reduction of uninsured Americans in four decades. Many now have access to vital preventive services such as mammograms, cervical cancer screenings, and flu shots.

Research over the past two decades has shown numerous health benefits associated with moderate intensity physical activity. This is why the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) developed the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (PAG), recommending 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week for adults and 60 minutes of moderate physical activity per day for kids, to include muscle-strengthening activities, for important health benefits and even more physical activity for greater health benefits. Join #SaludTues on December 15, 2015, to tweet about how we can use evidence and anecdote to redefine physical activity for lifelong health, and how we can stay motivated to move more and sit less throughout the day.
