Abstract

There are high rates of high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and obesity within Latino populations and a very low rate of high cholesterol/ type 2 diabetes awareness among Latino adults. My dad and I are unhealthy Latino individuals, I am considered obese, have high cholesterol and he has diabetes type 2. Together we created a weekly YouTube video blog on how to cook healthy meals to manage these diseases. I want to share how to cook healthy meals with other Latino families or individuals going through the same health issues through the media to hopefully help them manage the disease too.
