March is National Nutrition Month. Each week, our Blue Cross® Blue Shield® of Michigan wellness coordinator, Chris Barr, will provide recommendations for weekly goals to help you improve your diet. Always talk to your doctor before making any changes if you are managing a chronic condition.
Tips for meal planning:
- Pick healthy snacks that are ready to eat and require little effort.
- Get the family involved by asking for their favorite meal.
- Stick to steam bags for veggies if raw storage isn’t an option.
- Reward yourself if you stick to the plan all week.
Find healthy recipes and informative videos on the Blue Cross® Health & Wellness website, powered by WebMD®, to help you improve or add variety to your diet.
