March is National Nutrition Month! The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ theme for this year’s celebration is “Fuel for the Future.” This theme challenges us to focus on sustainable diet habits, emphasizing a more efficient use of natural resources.
Future-minded food gives you the flavor and nourishment you need, while simultaneously protecting the environment. Take steps to improve your health by participating in National Nutrition Month festivities happening here at Norton Healthcare! Learn how to create healthy habits that are environmentally-friendly and celebrate your unique needs through every phase of life.
