March is National Nutrition Month! Each year, there is a new theme for National Nutrition Month that gives people something to focus on in the coming months and for the rest of the year. In general, this campaign is to create sound eating and physical activity habits in the general population of people. The theme for the 2017 National Nutrition Month is "Put Your Best Fork Forward" which gives us all the reminder that we hold the tool to make better nutrition decisions for ourselves and our lives and that making small shifts in our nutrition habits can make a big difference in the long run.
The key messages that are being pushed this year are as follows:
- Create an eating style that includes a variety of healthful, nutritious foods.
- Practice cooking more at home and being creative with new ingredients and cooking methods.
- How much we eat is as important as what we eat. Make sure that you are eating the right amount for you and your lifestyle.
- Find activities that you enjoy and be active on most days of the week.
- Manage your weight and health risks by meeting with a registered dietitian and getting a meal plan that works for you.
