What you need to know
Make your mission good nutrition. A balanced diet is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, strengthening your immune system and reducing your chances of developing diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
With this Healthy Me 2020 program, you can learn to improve the quality of your diet by incorporating more seasonal and colorful fruits, vegetables, and other whole, plant-based foods and by keeping portions moderate. You can also examine your relationship with food, and work on eating more mindfully.
Eating well = better life
Eating well goes beyond just calories and grams of fat, protein, and carbohydrates in food. When you eat well, your energy level increases, you feel healthier and stronger, and you handle stress better.
