Health problems impact people from all walks of life, including the estimated 47 million Latinos living in the United States. While U.S. Latinos differ in many ways, they are united by the wide array of health risks they share including obesity, diabetes and heart disease. In fact, Latinos have a 21 percent higher prevalence of obesity than non-Latinos and 18.5 percent of Latino children are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

We encourage you to set fitness goals and be sure to follow weekly updates from the Dos Lives team members who are participating in the fitness challenge. Popular Dos Lives features including “Mi Cocina es Tu Cocina,” “Tu Tecnologia” and “The Dos Lives Weekly Podcast with Jon and Mariana” will highlight exercise and nutrition tips and share encouragement for Latinos participating in the challenge.
