March is National Nutrition Month® The theme for the 2010
National Nutrition Month® is “ Nutrition from the Ground Up.”
National Nutrition Month® is a nutrition education and
information campaign created annually in March by the American
Dietetic Association. The campaign focuses attention on the
importance of making informed food choices and developing sound
eating and physical activity habits. Eating right and being fit
are keys to staying healthy throughout life. As nutrient needs
change with aging, it is important for consumers to know which
foods offer the vitamins and minerals that will promote healthy
aging. Help feel your best by learning how to make healthy food
choices – especially those that are lower in calories and packed
with vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients – and by
being physically active every day. To learn more about National
