Bronx, NY (PRWEB) September 08, 2014 -- On Friday, September 12, 2014, The Puerto Rican Family Institute and SBH Health System welcomes Bronx residents to its family health and fitness event ¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!®. This event promotes Hispanic family physical activity and good nutrition for better health and wellness for people of all ages and all sizes. The event, which is FREE and open to the public, will be held on the St. Barnabas Hospital campus, 4422 Third Avenue, in the Bronx, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

“This event ties in very well with our focus on preventing disease and helping people live healthier lives,” said Dr. David Perlstein, Chief Medical Officer, St. Barnabas Hospital. “Families can make a difference in the health of their loved ones by exercising, eating healthy and making the right lifestyle choices.”

Added Iran Rodriguez, President and CEO of The Puerto Rican Family Institute, “Physical activity helps prevent and manage disease, boosts energy, and is an important part of maintaining emotional health by reducing stress and improving one’s mood.”

¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® demonstrates the power of culture, family, and community to promote better health for all. The Bronx event will feature free health information and screenings. There will be activities for the whole family, including sports clinics, healthy cooking demonstrations, Zumba and yoga. Participants will have the chance to participate in raffles and receive giveaways, sample healthy snacks, receive information on living healthier, and enjoy their favorite music.

“Making movement a daily part of your life is one of the most important steps you can take for you and your family’s health,” said Jane L. Delgado, PhD, MS, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health. “We are grateful to our national partners for their support of these family health events especially the Newman’s Own Foundation, and Univision Communications for working to get the word out about the events.”

“We are proud to support the National Alliance for Hispanic Health in providing community-based health and nutrition outreach,” said Robert Forrester, president of Newman’s Own Foundation. “One of the Foundation’s priorities is the support of nonprofits whose focus is on nutrition, and ¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® works to address a broad range of needs on the local level.”

All participants of ¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® Bronx will be eligible to register for the National Alliance for Hispanic Health’s Buena Salud® Club. This free membership club is designed to promote healthy lifestyles by providing year-round reliable and confidential health information and provider referrals.
