Oldways releases Latino nutrition tool kit
Oldways and the Latino Nutrition Coalition
(LNC) released "Latino Living: A Guide to
Better Health Through Traditional Food and
Active Lifestyles." The guide, which originally
was designed for health professionals and dietitians, has been updated to fit the needs of
consumers as well, according to Oldways.
For consumers, the 25-page kit provides a
7-day Healthy Latino Meal Plan, with recipes
and grocery list; a bilingual Latino Lifestyle
Calendar; a new, illustrated, bilingual Latin
American Diet Pyramid, with basic guidelines
to help plan daily meals; and several items in
both English and Spanish, including a list of
Latin American superfoods, kitchen strategies,
tips for children and tips on how to exercise.
For health professionals, the kit also provides statistics concerning obesity, nutrition,
diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer
rates occurring in the Latin American popu-

lation, as well as weekly goal tracking and
24-hour recall sheets.
The LNC is an Oldways' educational program inspiring Latinos to improve and maintain their health
through traditional
foods and active
lifestyles. The LNC
creates
practical,
culturally-aware
materials in English
and Spanish that
help Latinos combine the best of their healthy food traditions
with the realities of modern American life.
Consumers,
health
professionals and registered dietitians may request
the free resources by contacting Adriene
Worthington at aworthington@oldwayspt.org
or (617) 896-4876.
