Hispanic and Latino communities, one of the largest ethnic groups in the U.S., experience a disproportionate burden of lifestyle-related chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. With food traditions at the heart of these diverse cultures, eating for satiety and satisfaction is a powerful way to reduce chronic disease risk and support sustainable nutrition behaviors.
Lily Correa, MPH, RDN connects the science to the kitchen highlighting culturally traditional foods such as avocados (or aguacates) which have nutrients that promote fullness and satisfaction and have been researched for their impact on diabetes and prediabetes risk, satiety, diet quality, body weight, glycemic response, and more. You’ll walk away with practical, culturally relevant plate-building strategies and counseling approaches that honor traditions, optimize budgets, and fit everyday eating—from desayunos to afternoon snacks and dinner. Mindful eating practices will also be discussed as a simple tool to enhance satiety and satisfaction in daily life.
