Nutrition & Healthy Eating

Nutrition is vital for managing and preventing chronic diseases because it helps control symptoms, supports disease prevention, maintains a healthy weight, boosts immune function, improves energy levels and quality of life, enhances medication effectiveness, and supports cellular repair. A balanced diet plays a key role in reducing the risk and impact of chronic conditions, leading to better overall health and well-being. ​

Cancer

Brain Injury

Brain injury can have lifelong effects on health, work, relationships, and daily activities. Because those effects may change over time, many individuals benefit from ongoing support in managing this chronic condition. As our understanding of brain injury has evolved, it is increasingly recognized as a chronic health condition because its effects may last for months, years, or a lifetime and can change over time.

The Brain Injury Association of Nebraska's Resource Facilitation program provides free, individualized assistance to Nebraskans with brain injury and their families. Resource Facilitators help individuals identify goals, connect with healthcare and community resources, navigate benefits and services, and develop strategies to maximize independence and quality of life. Whether the injury occurred recently or many years ago, support is available. Learn more at https://biane.org/resource-facilitation/ or call 866-423-2463.​
