How has the CHAMP program helped participants? How has it impacted their health? CHAMP program has helped participants make changes by addressing unhealthy behaviors of poor nutrition habits and decreased physical activity that can lead to health risk and diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases. CHAMP also provides a healthy recipe to participants weekly to motivate them to eat healthier meals. In the program we also weigh them to inform them about their weights whether they are healthy or not. We also let them know if their BMI’s are normal, overweight, or obese. We provide them with a personal nutrition log so participants can keep track of their food intake. Another reason for the food logs would be so that the nutritionist can have a better understanding of what they are eating if they eat enough vegetables, fruits etc. This way the nutritionist has a closer look to their daily diet to help participants reach their goals.

During my two interviews my with my two people of the Hispanic culture I came to find they were both had a good level of health literacy from a quick glance.

Francis I met over swim class this fall at UH recreation center, so I came to the conclusion to pick two people I didn’t really know to ask these questions for this paper.
