March is National Nutrition Month!

Get ready for National Nutrition Month! March's theme this year is "put your best fork forward" - emphasizing that "Making just small shifts in our food choices, can add up over time".

I want to emphasize the message that eating right doesn't have to be complicated. Changing your routine in small ways that you can enjoy and sustain is the best way to improve your eating habits for life. 

Key Messages:

1. Create an eating style that includes a variety of your favorite, healthful foods.
2. Practice cooking more at home and experiment with healthier ingredients.
3. How much we eat is as important as what we eat. Eat and drink the right amount for you, as MyPlate encourages us to do.
4. Find activities that you enjoy and be physically active most days of the week.
5. Manage your weight or lower your health risks by consulting a registered dietitian nutritionist. RDNs can provide sound, easy-to-follow personalized nutrition advice to meet your lifestyle, preferences and health-related needs.
