The American Dietetic Association has declared March as National Nutrition Month®. The theme is ?Eat Right with Color." What does that statement mean to you? If you painted a picture of your weekly diet, how many colors would your picture have? Are French fries your favorite vegetable?
Throughout the month of March, the Food and Nutrition departments at LifeBridge Health are hoping to color your minds, plates and palettes as we explore what it means to ?Eat Right with Color."
The following activities will be happening next month at LifeBridge Health!
Also, Wednesday, March 9 is Registered Dietitian Day. Don?t forget to wish the registered dietitians you know or work with a Happy RD Day!
