Hacia una vida digna y saludable
Visión y Compromiso, en colaboración con el Programa Integral de Insuficiencia Cardíaca de UC Davis Health, está implementando Vida Sana, Corazón Bailando Proyecto de investigación en el área del condado de Kern. Este proyecto combina nuestro programa de Bailoterapia con el… El plan de estudios Me Veo Bien, Me Siento Bien promueve un enfoque integral de la salud que incluye la nutrición, la actividad física y el manejo de la salud emocional.
💃Vida Sana, Corazón Bailando will evaluate how participation in a holistic exercise and wellness program impacts participants’ cardiovascular health and stress levels. The goal is to prevent cardiovascular diseases and pay attention to risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Starting January 23, two Bailoterapia instructors trained in obtaining capillary blood through a small finger prick will guide 20 participants through 10 weekly sessions. Promotoras will support participants, who will receive tools to improve their well-being.
To understand the real impact on their health, participants will track measurements at the beginning and end of the program, including blood pressure, cholesterol, an average of blood sugar levels over the previous three months (A1C), weight, and waist measurement. These measurements are key in the research project to show how small changes in diet, exercise, and stress management affect cardiovascular health and stress levels in people. Stress, in particular, can raise blood pressure, increase blood sugar levels, and lead to the accumulation of abdominal fat. That’s what differentiates this research project. It supports physical activity and teaches tools to reduce stress and improve emotional well-being.
Vida Sana, Corazón Bailando seeks to demonstrate the effectiveness of community prevention programs in cardiovascular health, such as Bailoterapia and the Me Veo Bien, Me Siento Bien curriculum, and expanding it to other regions as accessible tools for self-care. We trust that the results will generate valuable evidence for clinics, hospitals, and medical services to integrate this model as a viable, culturally and linguistically relevant option for our communities.
At Visión y Compromiso, we continue to work towards a dignified and healthy life. Our impact is greater when we collaborate with institutions that wholeheartedly support community wellness. ❤️Gracias, de corazón, Comprehensive Heart Failure Program at UC Davis Health!
