Coming in 2025: A Focus on Food

We’re excited to announce nutrition as our 2025 theme for FutureMe, Powered by NRECA^TM.

Why nutrition? First, diet is a highly modifiable risk factor for negative health outcomes affecting participants. According to 2024 FutureMe survey results, nearly 75% of participants reported nutrition habits that place them as moderate to high risk for a chronic illness. Second, a nutrition-rich diet is vital to a person’s overall health. It can help prevent cancer, diabetes and other chronic illnesses, boost immunity, support healthy pregnancy, keep skin, teeth and eyes healthy, and much more.

Throughout 2025, we encourage you to use and share our nutrition-related materials and resources at your cooperative. This will include FutureMe tools, like coaching, webinars and challenges, and engaging infographics that support your employees in maintaining healthy eating and drinking habits.

In early December, look for more information to get 2025 started off right!
