March is National Nutrition Month!

In keeping with our various wellness initiatives throughout the year at VMG, we hope you’ll join us by participating in our National Nutrition Month event. This year the National Nutrition Month theme is:  “Bite Into a Healthy Lifestyle.”

At Valley Medical, we are focusing our NNM theme on the “Health Benefits of Eating Fruits and Vegetables”.

Watch for the display table in the lobby of each health center. Both VMG staff and patients are invited to participate. There will be a new quiz and a new prize each week in all 4 centers! 

Quiz topics will focus on recognizing the antioxidants in various fruits and vegetables, and the specific health benefits to us when we eat foods that contain these antioxidants.


New this year: we have 4 students from the Nutrition Department at UMass who will be volunteering in each center once during the month, and offering taste testing and information to staff and patients. We will let you know when they will be here, so you can drop by and say hello.

We hope you will find the time to participate! Enjoy and good luck!
