The program's objective is to promote a healthy weight in Latinas who face
several barriers to weight loss such as access to healthy foods, time, economic
resources, family commitments and motivation. The program was specifically
designed to address such issues. The goals are to reduce the BMI, cholesterol,
waist and blood pressure of participants, increase nutrition and fitness
knowledge, provide access to healthy foods and activities and provide
motivational support. Project activities are conducted by Promotoras de Salud to
ensure interventions are culturally competent. Throughout eight sessions women
learn about nutrition, exercise and stress management, participate in
discussions about body image and depression and set bi-weekly goals for
themselves. Participants receive calendars of free healthy activities offered by
program partners, facilitating access to physical activities and healthy food
resources. Vida Sana carries vitamins, herbs and teas. Spanish-speaking.
