Put Your Best Fork Forward
According to the National Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, March is national nutrition month. This year, the experts are highlighting the idea that every bite counts, that every small decision makes a difference towards lasting health, one forkful at a time.
This year’s key messages are:
Learn your needs.
Know the facts.
Plan your snacks.
Regular physical activity is a must.
To achieve these goals, they suggest creating an eating style that includes a variety of healthful foods; practice cooking more at home and experiment with healthier ingredients; controlling the amount of foods, even healthy foods; and being physically active most days of the week.
March through the month of March, putting your best fork forward.
