Third-Quarter Well-Being Focus: Food as Medicine

Numerous factors contribute to living a long, healthy life. Maintaining a nutritious diet might be as important a factor as any.

In the third quarter, we’ll focus on Food as Medicine with a spotlight on the role a healthy diet can play in preventing and managing chronic illnesses. Real foods, or foods found in nature, offer the nutrients and minerals we need to help fight off disease and thrive.

New resources from FutureMe, Powered by NRECA™ offer tips and tools designed to encourage your employees to form healthy eating habits for longevity and a healthy quality of life. Find these resources on the FutureMe page in the BA Guide.

Resources include a video overview of our Food as Medicine theme, infographics that you can share electronically or print, and our webinar, “Food Power: Reducing Cancer Risk.” There are two options available for viewing the live webinar July 30. Your cooperative can register for the 1 p.m. Central time session or 7 p.m. Central time session. Your employees can sign up individually, as well. Note that the webinar will not be recorded or available to view later.
