Nutrition Classes
Everyone knows that there is an obesity epidemic
occurring in the United States, and Hispanics/
Latinos and their children have been particularly
affected by the growing prevalence of overweight
and obesity. The Ohio Hispanic Coalition is offering
free nutrition workshops in Spanish, which are
funded by The Columbus Foundation, to educate
the Hispanic/Latino community on the importance
of healthy eating and being physically active. The
workshops include three (3) classes, with each
class lasting about two hours. Each class is divided
into two sections, nutrition education, and physical
activity.
