March is National Nutrition Month and this year's theme is Food Connects Us!
National Nutrition Month is an annual campaign sponsored by The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. It is held annually in March to remind us about the importance of making informed food choices including healthier eating and physical activity habits (more on activity habits to come). This year, in addition to the purpose of reminding us how important healthy eating is, the theme is about how food bring us together! I suggest we celebrate this by being role models to spread nutrient-dense healthy eating as a lifestyle.
I do think March is a great time for us to form some new everyday eating and activity habits since spring is here, and as we know, spring brings new beginnings (hate to rush the year, but summer and bathing suit season is not too far off either!). Now Iām not suggesting changing or making several new habits all at once. (I am suggesting one new habit at a time, and even this can be more difficult than it sounds!).
So, just what does "Food Connects Us" mean?
