Hass Avocado Board Partners with AltaMed Health Services to Spread Education About the Nutrition Benefits of Avocados during National Diabetes Month
the Hass Avocado Board (HAB) is joining forces with AltaMed Health Services, the nation’s largest independent federally qualified community health center, to improve nutritional education and access to glucose testing for the early detection and possible prevention of type 2 diabetes, a condition that impairs the body’s ability to regulate sugar. The campaign will leverage Aguacates Frescos – Saborea Uno Hoy® educational tools, recipes and website, building awareness for HAB’s science-based resources developed especially for Hispanic families.
Beginning in the fall, the AltaMed mobile unit will travel throughout Southern California to offer free glucose testing and education that integrates messaging on how dietary fiber, like that found in avocados, may help maintain healthy blood glucose levels. Delicious recipes and meal planning tools featuring fresh avocados will be shared in English and Spanish in-person and at SaboreaUnoHoy.com/AltaMed to inspire families to eat healthily and boost fiber intake with the traditional favorite.
