Physical health resources Nutrition, exercise, and weight
Healthy eating doesn’t have to be difficult, but some people may need extra support to develop a routine that works for them and their family. AmeriHealth offers a variety of tools, programs, and resources to help members make healthy food choices and manage their weight so they can feel their best.
Healthy diet
A balanced diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, is key to optimal health. It impacts how you look and feel. Eating well can help you shed extra pounds or maintain a healthy weight, boost your energy, and protect against many serious illnesses and diseases, including diabetes, heart disease and stroke, some cancers, osteoarthritis, and depression.
Choosing and preparing healthy food for you and your family is a whole lot easier when you have access to the right information, tools, and resources. Visit the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Choose MyPlate for healthy recipes, menu builders, food and fitness trackers, and comprehensive information for parents and teachers of children of all ages.
