NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH – MARCH 2023

U.S.
 * Timeline
 * Importance
 * Observe

“Let thy food be thy medicine,” said Hippocrates (a long, long time ago), but
the sentiment still rings true. National Nutrition Month, celebrated in March,
stresses the importance of a balanced diet and exercise. The Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics promotes the transformative powers of healthy food
choices. The Academy encourages using a registered dietitian in order to develop
and stick with a healthy eating plan.


NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH TIMELINE

2012
The Association changed names

The American Dietetic Association changed its name to the Academy of Nutrition
and Dietetics to better reflect the shifting focus of educational and
science-based nutrition initiatives.


1996
It’s all in the book

The American Dietetic Association's Complete Food & Nutrition Guide (1st ed.)
was published. It remains one of the most important pieces of nutrition
literature and has spawned a number of editions since.


1980
National Nutrition Week expanded

After popular response to the week-long holiday, the initiative moved to span a
whole month. The first theme was “To Hit Your Stride, Eat Smart.”


1973
National Nutrition Week launched

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) launched the first National Nutrition
Week with the theme "Invest in Yourself — Buy Nutrition."






HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH


 1. MOVE YOUR BODY
    
    Nutrition doesn’t end at what we eat. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
    encourages making exercise an integral part of our lives. Try a new activity
    like Zumba, swimming, or spinning to keep workouts fresh and exciting.


 2. FIND INSPIRATION
    
    Feeling stale in the kitchen? Pinterest provides an infinite loop of recipes
    and inspiration to kick-start any nutrition journey. Picking up a new
    cookbook or following a cool food blogger works too!


 3. MEET WITH A DIETITIAN
    
    They’ll provide you with a detailed meal plan that makes sense for your
    lifestyle and goals. Many, if not most, health insurance plans cover the
    cost of dietitian services and city health departments sometimes offer
    complimentary services or charge sliding-scale fees. Anyway, a healthier,
    happier outlook on life is priceless!





FIVE (REALISTIC) WAYS TO EAT HEALTHIER THIS MONTH


 1. GO, GO, H2O!
    
    We all know drinking water helps in nearly every aspect of wellness, but
    drinking the recommended amount of water per day can be tough. Electrolyte
    additives offer the same, if not better benefits that drinking six or more
    glasses of water a day would.


 2. CHOOSE FOOD OVER SUPPLEMENTS
    
    Though there are some who sincerely lack certain vitamins and minerals that
    can’t be achieved through diet alone, most of the good things our bodies
    need come from food — not store-bought supplements. Research shows that
    certain supplements haven’t been tested to meet many purity and safety
    standards, making them unreliable sources of nutrition.


 3. OPT FOR COLOR
    
    When in doubt, throw some color on your plate — natural color, that is.
    Bright greens from crunchy vegetables or vibrant reds from tangy fruit will
    not only make your meal Instagram-worthy, they’ll give you a healthy boost.


 4. PACK YOUR LUNCH
    
    Avoiding typical restaurant or fast-food grease may seem obvious, but
    according to Harvard Health Publishing, even more important than that is the
    ability to control portion sizes when you pack your own lunch. Try something
    fun like a DIY Bento box!


 5. SHOP THE PERIMETER
    
    Shopping a supermarket's outside aisles ensures that you’re getting healthy
    alternatives to processed foods like produce, meat, and dairy. When you move
    inward, most, if not all, of the products contain unnecessary additives and
    sugar.


WHY NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH IS IMPORTANT


 1. IT’S AN EXCUSE TO RESET
    
    We hope you’re still crushing your wellness-related New Year’s resolutions!
    For the rest of us, this month gives us an opportunity to reflect inward and
    make tangible changes to our diets or workout regimens. It could be as
    simple as adding another veggie or fruit to every meal.


 2. WE’LL LOOK (AND FEEL) BETTER
    
    When we eat real, nourishing foods, we’re getting a wealth of vitamins and
    minerals that support not only healthy internal function, but give skin,
    hair, and nails an extra glow. Look good, feel good.


 3. IT FOSTERS A COMMUNITY
    
    From yoga classes to sustainable farming workshops, the opportunities to
    celebrate this month are endless in cities all across the country.
