During the month of March, Congressman Charles B. Rangel is challenging individuals to join his Rangel Resolution to demonstrate the importance of committing to a healthy lifestyle. The Rangel Resolution is a 30 day challenge that encourages participants to adopt the following healthy habits:

1.         Replace all sugary beverages with water;

2.         Eat breakfast every day; and

3.         Eat at least one serving of fruits and vegetables a day

Join #FoodFri on Friday, March 13, 2015, 1pm Eastern, to chat with @MomsRising and @cbrangel about the 30 Day Rangel Resolution!
