National Nutrition Month

National Nutrition Month 2023 Blogger Badge

March is National Nutrition Month – a month-long celebration that encourages people across the country to make informed food choices and prioritize healthy eating and physical activity habits. Every year in March, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics inspires us to focus on the value of good nutrition and how it contributes to our overall health, well-being, and disease prevention. Let’s make this National Nutrition Month the start of a lifelong journey towards better health and wellness!

Eating Healthy

Eating healthy is important for staying healthy and feeling good. Your body needs different things to work properly, like energy and nutrients. Nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.

  • Proteins help build and keep your muscles, bones, and skin healthy.
  • Carbohydrates give you energy, and fats help your body absorb vitamins.
  • Fiber helps your digestive system stay healthy and helps keeps your blood sugar levels normal. 
  • Vitamins and minerals help your body do important things, like growing and
    staying healthy.
  • Healthy fats are important for brain function, energy production, and hormone regulation.  Healthy fats include avocados, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish like salmon.
  • Water helps your body in different ways, like keeping it cool and getting rid of waste.

Eating healthy means eating a variety of foods like fruits,  vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, fish, beans, and low-fat dairy products. It’s important to drink plenty of water and not eat too much salt, sugar, alcohol, saturated fats, and trans-fats.

Eating healthy can help you live longer and reduce the chances of getting sick with things like heart disease, diabetes, and being overweight. It can also help you manage health problems you already have. So, remember to eat healthy every day for a happier and healthier life!
