National Nutrition Month® is a time to focus on making informed food choices and developing healthy eating habits. Established in 1973 by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the month of March has become a time to celebrate the power of good nutrition. This year’s theme, “Beyond the Table,” emphasizes the importance of nourishing our bodies for optimal health and well-being.
According to eatright.org, this year’s theme “addresses the farm-to-fork aspect of nutrition, from food production and distribution to navigating grocery stores and farmers markets — and even home food safety and storage practices. It also describes the various ways we eat — not only around a dinner table but also on the go, in schools and restaurants, at games and events. This theme also includes sustainability, for instance, decreasing food waste from school and work to home and beyond.”
Tips to help you reach “Beyond the Table”
Remember, National Nutrition Month® is not about perfection but about progress. Celebrate small wins, be kind to yourself, and enjoy the journey to a healthier, more vibrant you. By making these mindful changes, you’ll not only fuel your body for the present but also invest in a healthier, happier future!
