How can I use my health benefits to improve my nutrition?
Congratulations! You’re about to unlock one of the best-kept secrets of your health plan—and open new doors to better nutrition as a result.
Nutrition is one of four core elements—”the Core 4,” alongside hydration, sleep, and exercise—that work together to contribute to a healthier you. (Fun bonus: As you start making positive changes in one area, you’ll notice a ripple effect across the other three areas, as well!)
Many people aren’t aware that their Cigna health benefits include nutrition-related resources, so we’re extra-excited to introduce them to you today.
What nutrition resources does my Cigna health plan offer?

Ideas and Inspiration to improve your nutrition today
- Think of food as more than “something to eat”; reframe it as fuel, medicine, information for our bodies, a healing weapon, a builder and a restorer. How can this reframe guide the choices you make for meals and snacks today?
- Consider meals as opportunities for ritual, connection, and celebration! Preparing a meal engages the senses and connects us with nature; sharing a meal strengthens relationships and well-being; and the food itself is a celebration of colors, textures, aromas, and flavors.
