National Nutrition Month

March is home to National Nutrition Month! According to the Dietitians of Canada, the purpose of National Nutrition Month is to “remind us of the importance of healthy eating and the positive impact nutrition has on our health and well-being.”

Like many National events, such as this, each year, the presenting organization takes on a different theme. This year, the theme is “Simply Cook and Enjoy” with the hope that it can inspire families to cook and eat healthy meals together. The literature and promotion for this theme provides readers with “practical advice and cooking and food skills from dietitians.” 

With such a push on healthy eating and active lifestyles, I think this makes for an excellent focus for this year’s event. There’s nothing better than prepping and creating a meal with a group of people! Okay, so maybe there are SOME things better than this, like having someone else cook YOU a meal AND doing the dishes afterwards, but this is a close second. At least this way there are more people to help with the clean up!  

Enjoy a month of nutritious foods and healthy choices! Be well!
