New Orleans Saints linebacker and American Diabetes Association Team Tackle member Obum Gwacham visited Camp PowerUp on on Tuesday, June 7.
Camp PowerUp is an ADA camp for kids who are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes in the greater New Orleans area.
Gwacham discussed the importance of healthy eating and physical activity and even pariticapated in a yoga session.
"I spoke to the kids about the importance of exercising, eating the right foods and obviously hydration living here in the South," Gwacham. "A lot of these kids, it might go in one ear, out the other but if it sticks with one or two of them then I feel like I’ve done my job.
