Latinos, we love to spend time with family and friends—hence Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays for Latinos in the U.S.#SaludTues-thanksgiving (2)

Many Latino families combine the traditional Thanksgiving dishes like turkey and pecan pie with popular Latino specialties such as tamales, pozole and empanadas.

Unfortunately, diabetes and cardiovascular disease affect the Latino community in big numbers and for this reason is important that we make healthy choices this holiday season.

Join #SaludTues this Tuesday, Nov.24, 1 pm ET–we’ll be sharing healthy recipes and ideas to have a muy healthy Latino Thanksgiving dinner.

Be sure to use the hashtag #SaludTues to follow the conversation on Twitter and share your strategies, stories, and resources for healthier foods & healthier marketing. Also, don’t forget to follow @SaludToday@AHA_Vida and @QueMeansWhat.

#SaludTues is a weekly Tweetchat about Latino health and building a culture of health every Tuesday at 12p CST/1p ET hosted by @SaludToday, the Latino health social media campaign by the Institute for Health Promotion Research (IHPR) at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
