Wellness & You program to begin With  interest  in a healthier lifestyle at an all time high, people are beginning to take a closer look at the foods they consume. To provide MUSC customers with the tools needed to make smart food choices, Wellness & You will start Jan. 24 in the MUSC Cafeteria. Wellness & You is a nutrition lifestyle and educational program designed to provide ongoing health and wellness information as well as a variety of  health food choices. The program takes a fresh approach to offering the education and information needed to make healthy dining decisions. The Wellness & You program will kick off with a tasty balsamic vinegar chicken recipe. To stimulate your taste buds, food samples will be  offered at the entrance to the cafeteria Jan. 24.  During the first week, anyone who purchases a Wellness & You product can use their receipt to register for daily prizes. Identifying the Wellness & You foods will be easy because of the brightly colored Wellness & You labels. The nutrition information will also be listed to help you make your selection. The Wellness & You nutrition criteria meet the dietary guidelines of most health organizations in North America including the Dietary Guidelines for  Americans,  the American Dietetic Association and the American Heart  Association.
