NUTRITION NOTES
March is National Nutrition Month!
This year’s National Nutrition Month theme is Personalize Your Plate! Everyone has their own personal nutrition needs. We are all unique in our own way, meaning our nutrition needs are unique to our bodies, our culture, our taste preferences, and our lifestyles.
Here is some food for thought – even if we all ate exactly the same, we would still have a variety of different outcomes! This month, identify what your personal nutrition needs and goals are. If you need help learning about and meeting your goals, reach out to a registered dietitian for information, guidance and motivation!
