National Diabetes Education Program

Más que comida, es vida. (It’s more than food. It’s Life.)

Mas que comida, es vida. It's more than food. It's Life

The National Diabetes Education Program and their Hispanic/Latino Work Group proudly announce the updated nutritional campaign, Más que comida, es vida. (It’s more than food. It’s Life.) to help Hispanics/Latinos make healthy food choices without giving up the traditional foods they love. Más que comida, es vida is a bilingual educational campaign that helps dispel misunderstandings around healthy eating and considers the cultural barriers to adopting a tasty and nutritional meal plan.

This popular campaign is a resource for dietitians, diabetes educators, and people who want to manage their type 2 diabetes without losing their cultural identity. It is intended for people with diabetes and their family members who may be at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Más que comida, es vida is an effective way to get out the message about how Hispanics/Latinos can prevent and control diabetes by learning how to plan and prepare meals and make healthy food choices.

Supporting materials for this campaign (in both English and Spanish) are available and includes the following (documents are available in * Portable Document Format - Learn more about PDFs):

NDEP encourage you to order this free booklet from their Web site, www.ndep.nih.gov. Visit What's New and the Publication Catalog.
