Your Texas Children’s Well-Being team has launched a new video series to help participants enrolled in the My Nutrition Challenge achieve a more balanced plate.
As the latest offering in our ongoing effort to introduce programs and resources that help keep our workforce healthy and strong, the My Nutrition Challenge Video Series provides expert insight and information to empower you to focus on incorporating healthier food options.
“We all know that you should eat fruits and vegetables and build a balanced plate, but it is important to realize the ‘why’ behind it,” said Cigna Health Coach and Registered Dietitian Staci Tobolowsky Astrein, who will be providing insights, tips and recipes every week during the challenge.
For the first week of the challenge, focus on filling one-half of your plate with fruits and vegetables.
Did you know that differently colored fruits and vegetables contain different nutrients? That’s why it is important to incorporate multiple colors in to your meals to get a variety of health benefits.
