A senior center serving a diverse population worked with local farmers to grow fresh, healthy produce traditionally enjoyed by those of Latino descent, according to a new video.

The video, by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), indicates that the center in Lawrence, Mass., also educated community members about portion control and healthy food preparation so that those with diabetes could learn the importance of a healthy diet for controlling the disease, and subsequently adjust their diets.
