March is National Nutrition Month

Welcome to March 2011 - National Nutrition Month!

This month, registered dietitians across the United States will be downloading their brains via blogs, newspapers, magazines, tv and radio interviews to get up to date and correct nutrition advice to our public.

This years theme is "Eat Right with Color". If you do one thing this month, try to get as many colors on your lunch and dinner plates as possible. Different colors note different micronutrients and phytochemicals, all of which have different roles in the body. The more color the better!

Registered Dietitian Day is next week on Wednesday March 9th. Instead of filling my office with gorgeous flowers this year (haha) please just do one thing for me on my national day of awesomeness...learn the difference between a Nutritionist and a Registered Dietitian!!!

Happy Nutrition Month!

It's NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH!

National Nutrition Month
The theme for March 2010 is "Nutrition From the Ground Up."

National Nutrition Month® is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the American Dietetic Association. The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. Registered Dietitian Day, also celebrated in March, increases awareness of registered dietitians as the indispensable providers of food and nutrition services and recognizes RDs for their commitment to helping people enjoy healthy lives.

Registered Dietitian Day is Wednesday March 10th 2010 this year (I enjoy Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, Tulips and Peppermint Stick Luna Bars…) – just kidding!

This month Crave Health will be posting weekly blogs to bring attention to nutrition related topics and issues that need to be on the forefront in order to create change and educate the public in a positive and motivating way.
