Hypertension and Healthy Eating During the Holidays

Christmas Recipes

Doctor Jane Delagado, one of the “100 Most Influential Hispanics,” Demonstrates Healthy Holiday CookingNew Survey Results on the State of Hypertension in Hispanic CommunitiesWith the holidays just around the corner, food temptations abound on dinner tables across the country. Although this is a common time when people end up straying from their healthy diet, it is important to stay on track and enjoy healthy, tasty, and low-sodium meals. Findings from hypertension screenings by the National Alliance for Hispanic Health demonstrate a need for awareness about steps to take to lower blood pressure, including lower sodium (salt) intake. Salt is a contributor to higher blood pressure and is pervasive in much of the North American diet that has been adopted by the Hispanic community.Did you know?•The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found Hispanics with hypertension are less likely to be aware of their condition
•Among Mexican American adults with hypertension, only about half (49.8%) are aware of their condition and are less likely to have their hypertension under control (17.3%) compared to non-Hispanic blacks (29.8%) and non-Hispanic whites (29.8%) with high blood pressure
•The age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension is 40.5% among non-Hispanic blacks, 27.4% for non-Hispanic whites, and 25.1% among Mexican Americans
Talent/Guest: Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic HealthThe nation’s foremost science-based source of information and trusted advocate for the health of Hispanics, Alliance members provide services to over 14 million persons annually. The award-winning author of SALUD – A Latina’s Guide to Total Health, Dr. Delgado this year was named one of “100 Most Influential Hispanics” by People en Español magazine. Her most recent TV appearance was a live national interview on CNN on the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).For more information, go to: www.hispanichealth.org
