A healthy lunch is a great way to bring wellness into the center of your day, especially for Americans looking to manage weight, combat low energy and better prevent, delay or manage diabetes.

The Association will celebrate the inaugural National Healthy Lunch Day, Nov. 17, by providing tips geared toward helping Americans prepare or buy healthier lunch options. Eating well is an important step toward committing to healthy habits, and lunch is an enjoyable way to involve friends, family and coworkers in the journey.

“Our goal is for every American to learn how to prepare and choose healthy foods and never feel like they are sacrificing flavor or the enjoyment they get out of a good meal,” said Kevin L. Hagan, CEO, American Diabetes Association. “As the Association marks its 75th anniversary, we are even more committed to empowering Americans to achieve health and wellness every single day. So let’s start making lasting healthy habits with a healthy lunch or a revamped holiday meal.”
