Each March, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics celebrates National Nutrition Month. This annual event emphasizes the importance of sound eating and physical activity habits. The theme for 2016 is “Savor the Flavor of eating right” which encourages everyone to take time to enjoy food traditions and appreciate the pleasures, great flavors and social experiences food can add to our lives. How, when, why and where we eat are just as important as what we eat. Develop a mindful eating pattern that includes nutritious and flavorful foods — that’s the best way to savor the flavor of eating right!
