#SaludTues Tweetchat 1p ET 7/7/15: How Latino Families Can Eat Healthy This Summer

Share On Social!

Summer brings fun, sun, and—too often—poor health for kids.

Emerging evidence shows children gain more weight during summer months than they do during the school year, and fitness gains children achieve during the school year are erased over the summer.

How can families stay healthy over the summer?

Let’s use #SaludTues on July 7, 2015, to tweet recipes, tips, and other resources that can make sure Latinos and others eat healthy and stay active while we celebrate summer vacation:
