There is a misconception in the Latino community about what signifies Healthy.  The concept “healthy” means having enough to eat and having no illness.  However, the relationship between physical exercise and long-term health is not easily recognized.  The Latino Community needs to realize that Health, Exercise, and Good Nutrition are absolutely necessary to maintain good health and prevent obesity and its consequences. • References • Websites • The Centers for Disease Control www.cdc.gov • The Keiser Permanente Hospital www.KaiserPermanente.org • The Department of Hunan Services www.DHS.gov • The after school Alliance www.afterschollnow.org • Dealing with Obesity • With the right nutrition, you can maintain a healthy diet.
