National Nutrition Month 2018

National Nutrition Month is a celebration held every March since 1980. It was created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND). Every year there is a different theme to promote nutrition education. The theme for 2018 is Go Further with Food. This year’s theme emphasizes the importance of fueling your body with healthy foods and physical activity. This month we will cover the following topics: breakfast, nutrition and physical activity, and healthy eating on a budget.

As a registered dietitian (RD), my goal is to provide helpful nutrition information that is supported by science. I want you to be an informed consumer. To be an informed consumer, look at the author’s credentials to determine their depth of knowledge and qualifications to cover a subject. If you want to know more about my qualifications or how to become a RD, check out the following posts.
