National Nutrition Month

March was National Nutrition Month. This year's theme was "Building Nutrition from the Ground Up".

What does this theme mean to me? This mean to build a healthy and sturdy foundation and build other healthy habits upon that base.

Taking small steps that stick - and building upon them. It is better to make one small healthful change and making it part of your daily life than make one/several large ones that you stop doing a week later.

Every little bit helps and you have to start somewhere. Whether it is adding one extra serving of veggies a day, switching from switching from white bread to whole wheat or multi-grain, or swapping from 2% milk to 1% or skim, each change you make will have a positive impact.

So let's start building that foundation today! Visit the American Dietetic Association's website to learn more at www.eatright.org/nnm
