Losing weight, eating healthier foods and cutting
out sugary beverages are among the most common
New Year’s resolutions. But sticking to them isn’t
always easy.
At Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) we are committed
to helping you make healthy choices. This is why we have
introduced our “Your Health, Your Choice” healthy eating
program within the BWH cafeteria. Driven by the latest
nutrition research and using guidelines from the Harvard School
of Public Health’s Healthy Eating Plate, we’ve created a color-coded
labeling system on our foods and beverages that will help you to
make healthy eating choices.
Our goal for Your Health, Your Choice is to help you make better
food and beverage choices. In the end, you’re in control and we
want to make sure you have the information you need.

understand the nutritional value of their selections
