Mi Pueblo launches healthy living program

Hispanic grocery chain Mi Pueblo Food Centers has launched a new healthy living program for shoppers and employees known as "Salud y Belleza" by nutrition expert Lisa Antillón. Lisa Antillón will share healthy recipes, tips and advice.

The program was launched because obesity among the Hispanic population is higher compared to the general population. Through this program the retailer will increase awareness among the community and provide healthier and accessible alternatives.

The program will include recipes, health advice, beauty and skin care tips using natural products and produce found in the supermarket.

Mi Pueblo has a total of 19 store locations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Central Valley and Monterey Bay Peninsula. The retailer strives to create an ambiance reminiscent of the crowded, fresh-food markets of Mexico and Latin America while also carrying all the grocery items generally available in mainstream supermarkets.
