On October 18th, The University of Houston's Science & Community hosted an After-School Health Expo: Health Fair and Symposium. The event was a great success! Approximately50 community members attended including the kiddies and over 25vendors/exhibitors attended the event. Attendees were able to participate in a walk to the UH community garden, (which burns calories), participate in a Nightclub Cardio fitness demonstration, (which burns calories) and engage in a group discussion about reducing early childhood obesity via a collaborative research (which can determine ways to burn calories). Are you seeing a trend?
The Science and Community aims to undo obesity (Understanding Neighborhood Determinants of Obesity) in Houston. Health Symposiums are just one to become involved. For more information about this organization and ways you can help reduce obesity visit their website. It's listed below!!
