Eat Your Way to a Healthier You: New Nutrition Resources Come to WeShare
Do you remember learning about the food pyramid in elementary school?
The food pyramid consists of three or four brightly colored blocks that break down food groups and organizes them in a triangle—narrow at the top for the foods to limit, wide at the bottom for the ones to get plenty of every day. This visual percentage encourages exact balance and moderation between each food group for everyone.
When we studied it then, it seemed so easy, right? Just a little bit of sugar, mainly eat your veggies, and you’re all set!
Yet how many of us have reached adulthood and been dismayed to discover that nutrition isn’t all that simple? More than that, what happens when conflicting online opinions, chronic conditions, and personal food relationships suddenly turn a simple meal plan into a maze of mistakes and triggers to be avoided?
If you’re wondering where to begin in preventative care or your health improvement journey, help from a dietician or nutritionist through Amwell Telemedicine may be just the catalyst you need. These specialists look at each individual to assess the unique nutritional needs you may have, while keeping family rhythms and overall health goals in mind. And “specialists” truly is the best description for the role they play in your wellness journey; each dietician takes into account a wide variety of individual concerns—like lifestyle, chronic conditions, and personal preferences—to assess how targeted nutrition impacts your body’s performance. That’s the essence of the preventative care WeShare is all about; supporting your body with the energy and vitamins it needs, and caring for your mind, heart, and soul through the wholesome food you put in. The meal plans and recipes you’re given can also support your whole family’s nutrition goals (including children!) so that meal time doesn’t have to mean hours in the kitchen agonizing over everyone’s specific needs.
With a WeShare membership, virtual appointments with these certified dieticians are unlimited and come with no Consult Fee or AMCS. Meet with a dietician for one-on-one support where you’ll receive nutrition counseling and strategies for success from the privacy of home. Learn more about this, and so many more, resources Amwell brings to your WeShare membership here, or sign in today at WeShareTelehealth.org to schedule your appointment and take some time to take care of the body that’s working around-the-clock to take care of you.
