Three hundred Dominican police are participating in a 12-week long “Your Ideal Weight” program seeking to put their body, mind and emotions into better shape. The program includes sessions with experts on nutrition, body training, and mental conditioning. Colonel Licurgo Evangelista Yunes Perez, in charge of human development at the force, said the program was developed to teach the agents how to live a healthy life. Lab tests in support of the program will be carried out at the National Police General Hospital. There they will work with nutrition expert, Dr. Mery Ogando. The challenge is for the agents to lose at least 10% of their current weight. Studies show that 32% of the Dominican population is obese.
