#SaludTues Tweetchat 3/28/17: Let’s Celebrate National Nutrition Month

Share On Social!

The nutritional quality of the food we eat will impact our health now and in the long run.

For instance, too much salt in one’s diet can increase a person’s chances of having high blood pressure. While eating more fruits and vegetables can help prevent weight gain and reduce one’s risk of developing chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes.

Let’s use #SaludTues on Tuesday, March 28, 2017, and join a great panel of co-hosts and YOU on Twitter to spread the word about what can be done to promote better nutrition in Latino communities and reduce disparities in chronic disease, as part of National Nutrition Month in March 2017.
