MARCH WAS NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH
There's no better month than National Nutrition Month® to change your eating habits into those that are both healthy and rewarding. The American Dietetic Association (ADA) in encouraging consumers to look beyond the myths of nutrition, focus on the facts and remember the theme for the month, Nutrition: It's a Matter of Fact.
During National Nutrition Month®, created in 1973, the American Dietetic Association promotes healthful eating by providing practical nutrition guidance and focusing attention on making informed food choices and developing sound physical activity habits. According to registered dietitian and ADA spokesperson, Kerry Neville, it may seem difficult to determine the most healthful eating plan because there are many nutrition myths that people tend to follow as the truth. That's why it's important to focus on information that is based on scientific research.
Researchers at Tufts University recently updated their Food Guide Pyramid for Older Adults making it easier to meet the unique nutritional needs of older adults.
