Galapagos ICE is helping locals lose weight, long-term. Currently Santa Cruz does not have a nutritionist. However, volunteers and local staff will teach those who want to lose and/or maintain weight with seminars about how to read Nutrition Facts, the nutrition pyramid, portion size, identifying carbs/fruits/veg/fats/sugars and how to make better choices. We will also have an exchange of recipes. Mauricio Pozo, Galapagos ICE Vice President and Certified Personal Trainer, recently opened a new gym called "Fitness Gym: Mejor Vida". This gym is for people who want to lose and/or maintain weight naturally and not use diets by eating a balanced meal and exercise for a Better Life.

Many problems in the Galapagos can be helped by preventing future health problems. We will be working with local restaurants who will offer portion control and better choices for people who have to eat out. Once a month Dr. Carlos Franco, a local Doctor trained in Cuba, will visit the group to see if anyone has health questions. The local psychiatrist will also come once a month, a lot of people that are over weight have psychological problems that may be holding them back and he is there for support. Dyan, a physical therapist, is also offering his services once a month for people with physical problems. This is just a start!
