Description
In the latest episode of BC Food News, host Jennifer English discusses a unique collaboration designed to raise awareness about a serious health concern in the Hispanic community - diabetes. The collaboration is between Avocados From Mexico and Grammy-nominated performer, Bomba Estéreo who have reimagined the beloved Latin classic 'La Bilirrubina' for its 35th anniversary. The song has been updated with new lyrics promoting healthier lifestyles, aligning with the American Diabetes Association's recommendation for type 2 diabetes screenings starting at age 35. Avocados From Mexico is amplifying the importance of good health through this initiative by pledging a dollar to the American Diabetes Association for every 60-second Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test taken, up to 35,000 people. This campaign underscores the need for proactive health management, especially given that Hispanic adults are 70% more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes than non-Hispanic White adults.
