This is particularly important for people who have conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, which can be greatly affected by what they eat.
The dietitians also get lots of questions about meal planning, nutrients and how to choose healthy foods. On the Healthy Eating playlist, part of the Blue Cross YouTube channel, the dietitians offer short videos to address these and other nutrition topics that people frequently ask them about.
The Healthy Eating playlist is premiering in March, which is National Nutrition Month, and will be updated throughout the year.
