Nutrition counseling
Ditch the diets and learn how to eat right for life by visiting a food and nutrition expert (or your physician). These experts are called registered dietitians, and your Independence Blue Cross health insurance covers up to six visits a year at no cost to you.*
Eat better, feel better
With better nutrition, your body functions better and has a greater ability to heal and strengthen itself. And one of the things you may notice as a result of your healthier food choices is weight loss.
Besides giving you a boost of self-esteem, shedding even a few pounds can also offer you the following benefits:
- Increased energy level
- Lower cholesterol levels
- Reduced blood pressure
- Decreased risk of heart disease and stroke
