Everyone knows that eating right (and exercising) leads to better health. But as our lives become increasingly more busy and sit-down family meals become a challenge, healthy eating is often the victim. The ever-expanding waistband of America has come under scrutiny and tipping the scales is all this extra weight is causing healthcare costs to skyrocket.
Solving this national crisis and what to do about our nutrition has been a hot topic of debate, from media coverage to the political realm.
This March, celebrate National Nutrition Month by evaluating your family’s eating habits and making simple changes for the healthier. The theme this year for National Nutrition Month is “Eat Right by Color”, let’s add a whole bunch of purples, greens and blues to all that white, brown and yellow and try something new!
