Get Healthy, Stay Balanced
In conjunction with our organic healthy food source at Son
Farm, we offer the Get Healthy Stay Balanced workshop to our FFF mothers. According
to Children’s Health Fund Research, childhood obesity doubled from 1980-2000 in
children ages 6-11, it tripled in adolescents ages 12-19. The associated health
conditions of childhood obesity are type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Black and
Hispanic children are disproportionately affected by these diseases.
Get Healthy & Stay Balanced is for family, for health,
and for life. Through this workshop, families learn how to combat unhealthy life
styles through education and action.
The workshops teach FFF families how to eat healthier, improve their
overall health, and lose weight. We also partner with Second Harvest Food Bank
to supplement food for the families we serve.
One of our FFF mothers lost 25 pounds and no longer has
migraine headaches. She and her son are experiencing the benefits of the Get
Healthy Stay Balanced lifestyle and are participating in the Son Farm experience.
