Community engagement began with an 80s-themed fitness dance event at Analco Park, which drew over 300 participants and included attendance by WBC champion Gaby ‘La Bonita’ Sánchez to encourage discipline and health. Efforts expanded to address metabolic health during World Food Day commemorations. Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier advocated for healthy eating and physical activity to combat rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. This was supported by a gastronomic fair at the Centro Expositor, featuring traditional cooks and local producers from various municipalities in Puebla. Rocío García Pérez, head of the National DIF System, emphasized that “nutrition is a fundamental right rather than a privilege.” She highlighted the importance of strengthening local production and community knowledge to ensure healthy food reaches vulnerable groups, such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly. These initiatives align with a national strategy led by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo to recover healthy habits and promote food security across the country. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-13: Puebla promotes healthy eating to combat obesity and diabetes In Puebla, Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier and the National DIF System promoted healthy eating and food security during World Food Day to combat obesity and diabetes in Mexico. 14 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/puebla-promotes-healthy-eating-and-physical-activity ### 2026-10-10: Puebla residents participate in 80s-themed fitness event Over 300 people joined an 80s-themed fitness dance event in Puebla, featuring WBC world champion Gaby Sánchez to promote community health and physical activity. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/puebla-residents-participate-in-80s-themed-fitness-event --- Cite as: Public health and wellness initiatives in Puebla.
