OAKLAND, California, Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Blue Shield of California is teaming up with artists in nine counties to create original artwork as part of an education and awareness campaign that offers support and encouragement during the COVID-19 pandemic to members who face health-related challenges.

More than 200,000 Blue Shield members, ages 35 to 64, will receive customized-art postcards over the next two weeks that encourage them to build healthy habits, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. For example, taking advantage of the nonprofit health plan’s Wellvolution program to better manage stress, treat existing conditions, and improve mental and physical health.

Wellvolution offers members more than 50 digitally driven health programs to choose from, which address specific health goals, conditions and health risks, and the program is available to most Blue Shield members at no additional cost. This outreach campaign is the latest example of Blue Shield’s efforts to help members prioritize their health from the convenience and safety of their homes to prevent, treat or even reverse chronic conditions.

Eight artists are participating in this initiative. Their artwork reflects the local identities of the nine counties they represent and interprets the theme «food is medicine.» The artists for this program were chosen for their community engagement as artists and advocates for a wide range of causes that include mental health, diversity and inclusion, and ending homelessness.

«With this art collaboration, we’re stepping outside our ‘clinical’ engagement with members,» said Angie Kalousek, director, Mind-Body Medicine at Blue Shield. «We’re tapping into local pride and the power of art to help inspire and give comfort to people during this pandemic, which is having profound effects on the physical and emotional wellbeing of us all. Art chronicles our lives and experiences and reflects cultural values, beliefs and identities. Our theme that  food is medicine is intended to support members and inspire them to use healthy food as a strong, shareable source of connection with each other.»

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Whether from a supermarket, farm stand, or your very own garden, fresh fruits and vegetables are highlights of summertime. Safe handling of produce is especially important during the summer months because foodborne disease-causing bacteria multiply faster in warm weather and fresh fruits and vegetables are often consumed raw.

To prevent food poisoning (also called foodborne illness) and keep nutritious produce safe, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends these food safety tips:

Buy Right

• Purchase produce that is not bruised or damaged. Keep in mind that imperfect produce that looks misshapen (but is not damaged or rotten) is safe to eat and just as nutritious.
• When choosing pre-cut or fresh-cut produce (such as a half a watermelon or bagged salad greens that have been cut), choose items that are refrigerated or on ice.
• Keep produce separate from raw meat, poultry, and seafood in your cart and shopping bags.

Wash Thoroughly

• Wash produce under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking, and dry with a clean cloth towel or paper towel to reduce disease-causing bacteria that may be present.
• Even if you plan to peel a fruit or vegetable, wash it first so dirt and disease-causing bacteria aren’t transferred from the outside to the inside of the produce.
• Scrub firm produce, such as melons and cucumbers, with a clean produce brush.
• For pre-packaged produce, read the label – if it says «pre-washed» and «ready-to-eat», you can use it without further washing. If you still choose to wash produce marked as «pre-washed» or «ready-to-eat,» make sure that it does not come in contact with unclean surfaces or utensils.

Prevent Cross Contamination

• Always wash hands before and after preparing food!
• Wash cutting boards, dishes, utensils, and countertops with soap and hot water between the preparation of raw meat, poultry, and seafood and the preparation of produce that won’t be cooked.
• When using plastic or non-porous cutting boards, wash them in the dishwasher after use.

Prepare Safely

• Cut away damaged or bruised areas on fresh fruits and vegetables before preparing them for cooking or eating.
• Discard produce if it looks rotten.

Store Properly

• Keep perishable, fresh-cut produce in a clean refrigerator at 40° F or below.
• In the refrigerator, store raw meat, poultry, and seafood so that their juices can’t leak onto produce. Always refrigerate produce that is bought pre-cut or peeled.
• Use the FoodKeeper App for information on how to safely store different foods to maintain freshness and quality.
