Boost energy levels
Foods affect each of us in different ways. What works for one person may not for another depending on genetics, metabolism, lifestyle, and pre-existing medical conditions. How do you get the right type and amount of protein, whole vegetables, fruit, and grains, and healthy fats that your body needs so you can stop feeling tired all the time and get the energy to achieve your goals?
Lower high blood pressure (hypertension)
More than half of American adults have hypertension or high blood pressure, but many don’t know it. This silent killer has no symptoms until it becomes severe and can lead to heart disease if left uncontrolled. While genetics play a role, changes to your diet, lifestyle, stress levels, and sleep can help lower your blood pressure. An Aetna dietitian nutritionist can create a tailored nutritional plan and provide ongoing support to help you manage hypertension.
Control diabetes
America is facing a diabetes epidemic, largely due to rising obesity rates, as diabetes risk increases with weight gain. High blood sugar can damage nerves, blood vessels, and tissues, leading to vision loss, poor circulation, and foot issues, and it may even be linked to dementia. Whether or not you're on diabetes medication, your diet and lifestyle are crucial for managing blood sugar levels. An Aetna nutritionist can help you tackle insulin resistance and guide you toward better health.
Improve gut health
Improving gut health is important because it affects digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. Having a healthy gut can even help in weight loss! An Aetna nutritionist can help you by creating a personalized plan that includes gut-friendly foods and lifestyle tips. With their guidance, you can balance your gut microbiome, improve digestion, and boost your overall health.
