Physical Health.
We realized during this current pandemic how important it is to stay healthy. The Bronx has consistently ranked last when health trends are discussed and as a result, we have seen a host of health issues including high blood pressure, diabetes, and an increase in obesity in our borough. To address this we must create spaces in our community to promote healthy initiatives and give Bronx residents access to services that will ensure we are as healthy as possible. To accomplish this goal, healthy eating and exercise must remain at the forefront. With many schools not having access to gymnasiums, we must continue to fight for our children to get what they so need and deserve to kick off their life in the right direction. Great health is a not a sprint it’s a marathon, and the journey begins when we are young.
