Latino Diets, Health, and Fitness: Thalia Says Hispanics Eat Too Many Tortillas, Don't Get Enough Vitamin B
Thalia has come out with an anti-bullying campaign, and now she's tackling the Hispanic diet.
She's in favor of the United States adding Vitamin B to corn flour, so that Hispanics can get better nutrition, according to People en Español.
Thalia was in New York to promote healthy eating for pregnant women with a lunch.
"I think that it's super important to focus on the Hispanic community," she said. "We eat too many tortillas, many tacos and a lot of corn. For this reason, it's important to take part in the FDA initiative, so that it adds Vitamin B, folic acid to corn flour. It's very important for our diet."
She also took the time to say that expectant mothers should also relax and take care of themselves.
"They need to feel beautiful, like goddesses at this point of their lives," she said. "But they also need to know how to take care of that baby they have inside. What March of Dimes is doing everyday is incredible."
Thalia also serves as an ambassador for March of Dimes, and has really switched her focus to children, especially this year.
Not only did she come out with a record for children, she also led a campaign with other celebrities against bullying, calling in other famous people, such as Maite Perroni, Lucero and Ninel Conde, to participate. There's probably about two dozen celebrities featured on her Instagram page. They all hold a sign that says, "Bullying is not a game."
And her efforts have not gone unnoticed.
Thalia was awarded by Cosmopolitan for Latinas as an example of a strong Latina women for 2014.
"Thanks to #cflfunfearless for this acknowledgment that is for all strong Latina women and fighter that are found around the world," she said on Instagram.
