\"alicia_villarreal\"<\/a> Miami, FL–(HISPANIC PR WIRE)–Internationally recognized Mexican singer Alicia Villarreal has teamed up with the Milk Processors Education Program (MilkPEP) to help communicate to Hispanic moms across the country the importance for her and her family of drinking milk to stay healthy, strong and in shape. <\/p>\n

Studies suggest that the nutrients in 3 glasses of lowfat or fat free milk a day can help promote a healthy weight and the protein, along with exercise, can help build lean muscle mass. <\/p>

As such, Alicia will be showing off her milk mustache with her 3 kids in the Hispanic ad campaign, which is in print magazines nationwide. <\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

This message is vital for Hispanics since according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 1\/3 of Hispanics in the United States are currently obese. Obesity leads to many health-related problems that Hispanics are already predisposed to such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. <\/p>\n

“I have always wanted to be part of the Hispanic milk mustache campaign because it provides me with the opportunity to educate Hispanics about essential health issues such as the importance of drinking 3 glasses of milk everyday. As a woman in show business, and a mother, I feel I can set a good example for all Hispanic moms as well as my own family,” Alicia said. <\/p>\n

Parents play an instrumental role in teaching their kids healthy eating habits from an early age. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that moms who regularly drink milk and make it available at family mealtimes ensure that their kids get enough calcium as they enter adolescence, which is a critical time for bone growth and development. As a mother of 2 young children and a newborn baby, this is particularly important to Alicia. “My children, like many other kids, pay a lot more attention to what I do than what I say. So part of the reason for why I drink milk is to serve as a role model for them and to encourage them to drink their 3 glasses of milk per day,” explains Alicia. <\/p>

“Success is not so much about how many records you release, but rather about taking care of yourself and your family. Every Hispanic mom can accomplish that by being making nutritious food choices and adopting a healthy lifestyle. What could be better than drinking milk?,” concludes Alicia. <\/p>\n
