Tweetchat 12/13: A Healthy Holiday How-To

Share On Social!

You don’t need us to tell you how stressful the holidays can be.

So how can we work together to turn the holiday season into a heart-healthy, less-stressed holiday for Latinos, who are at high risk of diabetes and unhealthy weight?

Let’s use #SaludTues on Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2016, to tweet info and tips to help us reduce stress and boost healthy eating and activity over the holidays.

• WHAT: #SaludTues Tweetchat: “A Healthy Holiday How-To”
• TIME/DATE: 1-2 p.m. ET (Noon-1 p.m. CT) Tuesday, Dec, 13 2015
• WHERE: On Twitter with hashtag #SaludTues
• HOST: @SaludToday
• CO-HOSTS: My Food Diary (@MyFoodDiary), KidsHealth.org (@KidsHealth), the National Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Sponsor Association (@NationalCACFP)

We’ll open the floor to your stories and experiences as we explore:

• How can snacks keep the season festive and healthy?
• What are some fun activities everyone can do together?
• What foods should be avoided during holiday festivities?
• What resources, campaigns, and role models can shed more light a healthy holiday?

Be sure to use the hashtag #SaludTues to follow the conversation on Twitter and share your strategies, stories, and resources that can help Latinos have a great holiday season.
