Our food choices are influenced by a variety of factors such as being rushed, lacking nutritional knowledge and the availability of meal options. This can lead to overeating foods that may increase the risk for developing diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and other health conditions.
Healthy Emory’s Better Choice program simplifies better eating by pointing employees to healthy food items during the workday.
As an additional way to achieve a healthier start in 2021, employees can earn points toward medical incentive dollars in Healthy Emory Connect by participating in Better Choice Campaign activities from Jan. 19 through Feb. 14.
Dawn McMillian, registered dietitian and senior wellness specialist at Emory, encourages employees to participate, whether working onsite or remotely.
