National Nutrition Month: March 2016

NNM2016Graphic

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!

You can use http://www.eatright.org/resources/national-nutrition-month as a great resource to start your path to Healthy Living.  There are activities and print outs that would be great to incorporate into club meetings!

Be on the lookout for weekly Nutrition Tips on the Delaware 4-H Facebook page during the month of March!
