Bite Into a Healthy Lifestyle
Submitted by Marilyn Gordon Ed.D., RD CSSD LDN
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
March is celebrated as National Nutrition Month. This campaign is an opportunity for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to remind individuals of the importance of a healthy, enjoyable, and balanced diet and eating pattern. So much information about food that is highlighted in the media uses scare tactics to inform the public. Optimal eating is more than one or two “super foods” and should take into account the entire eating pattern over time, the person’s healthy history, and physical activity habits.
The following link: http://www.nationalnutritionmonth.org/nnm/games/#.VOt7evnF-Gd will take you to a variety of quizzes, interactive games, and videos to enhance your nutrition knowledge. This month, commit to healthful meals eaten at regular intervals throughout the day. Choose a fruit, vegetable, or nuts for your snack. Grab and friend or co-worker and go for a walk in nature. Now is the best time to take a big bite into your healthy lifestyle!
