American Heart Association Youth Forum

On September 26th, 2009 I had the privilege of speaking on the National Youth Forum Panel hosted by the American Heart Association. I was joined by four wonderful teens who spoke about their challenges to eat healthy today as well as their ideas on how to make healthier food choices. They also shared with our audience the best ways to stay active to maintain a healthy body and feel energetic.

We had the great pleasure to have WFAA reporter Jim Douglas join us for this national forum. We appreciate his support in promoting Heart Healthy Awareness.

The American Heart Association has developed a for kids by kids program, "EmpowerMe" to guide children and young teens to a healthier lifestyle.

Thank you to all those who came out to support the AHA!
