March is National Nutrition Month®!

National Nutrition Month® is a nutrition education and information campaign that was created by and sponsored each year by the American Dietetic Association (ADA). This year's theme “Nutrition From the Ground Up” reminds everyone that to focus on eating better you need to start with the basics:

•Build your nutritional health from the ground up.
•Choose more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and beans to create a healthful eating plan.
•Try to eat more whole, nutrient dense foods (low in calories, high in nutrients) and less empty calorie, processed foods (high in calories, low in nutrients).
