March is National Nutrition Month!

Each year the American Dietetic Association chooses a healthful eating theme to promote throughout the month of March. This year's message is "Eat Right with Color."


Creating a colorful plate for meals and snacks is important because it assures that you're eating a wide variety of foods. Each different color represents a broad range of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Treat your plate as a paint palate using a combination of whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean meat, fruits and vegetables. Make a point to choose as many different colors as you can each day. Have a bright and healthy month of March!
