March into Nutrition Month!

Good nutrition doesn't have to be restrictive or overwhelming. Small goals and changes can have a cumulative healthful effect, and every little bit (or bite!) of nutrition is a step in the right direction. 

March is National Nutrition Month®. Let’s consider a few bite by bite tips to feel like we are eating right to feel fueled, stronger, and add a spring to our step:

  • Cover the basics.  Eat foods from each food group to ensure you get important nutrients.
  • Hydrate healthfully.  Water is best.  Coffee, tea, and low calorie beverages can also be part of a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
  • Be savvy when choosing your foods at the grocery store and at restaurants.  Look at labels, ingredient lists, and nutrition info.
  • Plan for eating away from home.  Whether going to work, out for the day, or traveling, take nutritious portable foods to keep you on track mentally and physically.
