Healthy eating

Find new ways to enjoy healthy foods. Get breakfast and dinner ideas, plus tips for choosing healthy snacks, making healthy recipes, and more.

Introduction

The right food provides fuel for all the things you need to do, from caring for your family, to working, playing, and every moment in between.

The foods you eat not only affect your energy levels, but they can also influence how your body functions in general.

Healthy food delivers nutrients to help keep your organs, muscles, and bones working properly. Junk food, meanwhile, can do the opposite.

While you probably have a good idea of which foods your body needs to stay fit and on-the-go, we'll break down the facts about what's healthy and what's not.

Not every food, diet, or recipe is right for everyone, so if you have any questions or need help understanding what you should or shouldn't eat to meet your goals, talk with your healthcare provider (HCP).

They'll give you tips, information, and advice tailored to your specific needs.
