National Nutrition Month 2012

The focus for March is on nutrition and healthy eating and the theme is how to get your plate in shape. So cute!

National Nutrition Month® is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits source

There are a few ways to celebrate National Nutrition month.

You can…

  1. Try a new ‘lifestyle’ (go vegetarian or vegan or mix the two)
  2. Cut out processed foods
  3. Cut out coffee
  4. Limit sodium
  5. Get rid of sugar

What small change will you make this month?
